Oncoming HP Load

2022-05-19 By Roger Edwards

Oncoming HP Load

Heavy-precipitation (HP) supercells can take many forms (most of them rather menacing in appearance):  behind big arcus clouds, drum-shaped, deep and dense with great structure, spiraling in form with wrapping tail and wall clouds, with an embedded little tornado visible, with an embedded big tornado visible, with a tornado playing hide and seek and sometimes a peek, pastel-festooned in the sunset hour, scuddy and plow-like, intensely dark messes, turquoise-cored, even triangular!  This somewhat drum-shaped storm joined the long parade of HPs I have witnessed, here shown shortly after producing a tornado somewhere on the north side (buried in rain behind those poles) that I could not see.  I waved the bullfighting towel at this one and let it race by to the north, not willing to play tag with the core and its damaging hail at stoplights across the south side of the OKC metro area.

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...
