- Thunderstorm cloud evolution process: successively taller towers
- W021682S
- Thunderstorm cloud evolution process. Successive taller towers deliver heat and moisture up into the atmosphere, preparing the way for even bigger updrafts that can break through the capping inversion. After W021681S, growth outpaces decay to build a larger cloud mass which now has structure, seen by the stair-step line of updrafts on the left side of one larger baseline. A storm will soon occur.
