Wintertime Wall Cloud

2021-02-01 By Roger Edwards

Wintertime Wall Cloud

An elongated wall cloud rotated slowly but rather asymmetrically, seemingly trading areas of more-concentrated turning for a few minutes until the entire mesocyclone area began to be undercut by the storm’s forward-flank outflow (coming in from the right).  In the meantime, scud in the tail cloud at right moved fairly rapidly inward (right to left).  On a cool yet unstable day when low-topped, mostly small supercells nonetheless had at least weak tornado potential, I thought this relatively broad base had a shot.  However, the next storm to the south would be the funnel producer, with a smaller updraft area, and about an hour later.

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...
