Nontornadic Supercellular Squiggly

2023-01-17 By Roger Edwards

Nontornadic Supercellular Squiggly

The “boundary supercell” west of Broadus kicked off the first of two straight days of harrowing storm intercepts, each featuring a fast-moving supercell in the same area, ahead of which legally fast pacing was possible but difficult.  After growing in size, and growing in percentage of the camera view filled thanks to employing a long zoom lens, the storm got much-better organized.  A suspicious “squiggly” cloud formation was rising in wavy fashion, not fully attached to the updraft base above.  It turned out to be merely a funny-shaped string of scud along the interface of low-level mesocyclonic inflow with the colder air from the proximal forward-flank precip area at right.

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...
