OKC “Low Hanging” Wall Cloud

2026-03-15 By Roger Edwards

OKC "Low Hanging" Wall Cloud
The OKC supercell of March 2026 had a broad and elongated cloud base, but no consistent and persistent areas of tight low-level cyclonic rotation.  Instead, it kept cycling transient, small, moderate, fairly short-lived cyclonic-shear areas.  Shortly after a younger circulation to the northeast looked threatening but weakened, an old shear zone intensified slightly and redeveloped this wall cloud, also with moderate rotation.  However, this too spun down with no adverse effect.  The wavy column that appears to be under it actually was a precipitation shaft just behind it in the hook region.  Yes, the speck below the left-middle base of the wall cloud is a helicopter:  a common sight around and even under supercell bases in central Oklahoma, from local TV outlets.  Amazingly, as of this writing, none yet have crashed doing this in around 40 years of such flights.

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...
