Hail can also undergo "dry growth", in which the latent heat release through freezing is not enough to keep the outer layer in a liquid state. Hail forming in this manner appears opaque due to small air bubbles that become trapped in the stone during rapid freezing. These bubbles coalesce and escape during the "wet growth" mode, and the ...
Hail; High winds – 93 km/h(58 mph) or higher. Lightning; Thundersnow, Snowsquall; Tornado; Windstorm (gradient pressure induced) Severe thunderstorm (hailstorm, downburst: microbursts and macrobursts)
The multiple reflections of the radar beam causing the hail spike. Generally known as hail spikes, these are the result of energy from the radar hitting hail, very heavy rain, or in extreme cases, debris being lofted by a tornado, and being reflected to the ground, where they reflect back to the hail and then to the radar as in the image on the left.

A second large serial derecho affected areas of the Tennessee River Valley and Midwest. Wind gusts up to 95 mph were recorded. Large hail and 80 tornadoes also occurred with this event. This event would be overshadowed by major tornado outbreaks that occurred just before and after it. [29] July 2011 Upper Midwest-Great Lakes Derecho: July 10 ...
A woman was rescued from the L.A. River as powerful bursts of hail hit areas including ... Rescuers were called to the river near Whitsett Avenue in Studio City around 5 p.m. after a 35-year-old ...
Another indication of the presence of severe weather along a squall line is its morphing into a line echo wave pattern (LEWP). A LEWP is a special configuration in a line of convective storms that indicates the presence of a low-pressure area and the possibility of damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes.
Still, scientists warn the basin remains in a downward spiral; rising temperatures have sucked more than 10 trillion gallons of water out of the river system between 2000 and 2021, according to ...
The rear flank downdraft can arise owing to negative buoyancy, which can be generated by cold anomalies produced at the rear of the supercell thunderstorm by evaporative cooling of precipitation or hail melting, or injection of dry and cooler air in the cloud, and by vertical perturbation pressure gradients that can arise from vertical gradients of vertical vorticity, stagnation of ...
