- The cap has broken to permit rapid formation of a severe storm
- W011795S
- Late-breaking weather news from a storm cloud. It took all day, but finally at sunset the cap (stable layer preventing convection) has broken to permit rapid formation of a severe storm to the east. A stair-step line of towers at right shoots up, then flares into the anvil. The storm's top is sharp-edged, flat and flaring out, with darker red ridges pushing outward above the golden orange sloped parts.
