Supercellular Rain Foot

2024-07-24 By Roger Edwards

Supercellular Rain Foot

A supercell that I had been observing for a couple hours never changed its overall appearance much from this, except to widen and shrink its core on a few cycles.  Here, an old forward-flank core at right was thinning, while a substantial but narrow dump (downburst) descended from the north rim of the mesocyclone region, complete with very nice rain foot.  The foot probably was kicking out some severe hail too.  Near the time I shot this, a lightning strike from the anvil arched overhead and started a grass fire about a mile off to my right rear!

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...
