The first 4 images are of the shelf cloud on
the east southeast side of the supercell thunderstorm. It is almost obscured, but
can be seen by the "line-like" formation within the clouds. The next two images are of a curious phenomena within the wall cloud itself. An opening resembling an inverted drainhole appeared, image 5, then after a short time filled in, image 6. Having only seen this cloud formation about 2 times previous, though not this close, I can only hypothesize that this is an area of updraft primed to produce a tornado, which it didn't. The last image shows a lowering which briefly appeared from the wall cloud. Story Page Mammatus clouds Inflow jets Gustnadoes Funnel/Tornado |
