[Part 3 of 3] Being fresher development, this bowing storm complex had not yet built up enough of a cold pool to trail along outflow boundary of its own, well to the southwest. Instead its beautiful shelving was more symmetric from north to south. Compare this to the south view of a larger, severe bow echo from 12 years before. Somewhere slightly farther south of here lay the outflow boundary from the early-day storm complex, upon and north of which still more storms would erupt from later in the afternoon into evening. These thunderstorms didn’t stabilize a sufficiently deep and broad area of the lower/middle troposphere to prevent later rounds of convection from erupting atop the reinforced outflow pool.
