LP Supercell and Tornado

2025-06-22 By Roger Edwards

LP Supercell and Tornado
Uncommonly yet spectacularly, a marvelously formed, low-precipitation (LP) supercell spun up a tornado, and one at least temporarily fully condensed from ground to cloud.  This was one of two distinct tornadoes the storm produced from the same cloud-base circulation, which according to closer observers and the NWS survey, temporarily disconnected from apparent ground contact for a few minutes about 1/5 of the way through the tornadic cycle, then spun up to a growing funnel again.  The supercell soon would fill in with more precipitation, making it more classic in character, though the tornadoes remained visible from every direction throughout their lifetimes.  This is the second dream-shot view I’ve had in the same year of a tornado under a well-structured supercell!

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...
