Filamentous Tendrils

2024-05-12 By Roger Edwards

Filamentous Tendrils

A classic supercell sported a classic, slowly rotating wall cloud as it rolled east-northeastward over western Oklahoma.  Ragged strings and filaments of scud, rising but not rotating, were reported erroneously by other spotters as funnel clouds, during this period when I had an excellent view.  The mesocyclone at and below cloud base had much stronger upward motion than horizontal (rotational).  This mesocyclone never produced a tornado, nor even came close.  The first of several precip cascades upshear from the mesocyclone, that eventually would turn this storm into an “HP moose“, can be see to the left rear.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
