- The updraft downdraft storm cycle in a small storm
- W020310S
- The updraft downdraft relationship is easily seen here in a small storm. Air rises along a dark base across the view, with a more focused updraft where the lowering is. High above, this rising air forms tall clouds and rain. Winds aloft lean or carry cloud and precipitation forward, where falling rain and downdrafts complete the cycle.
