- Energetic convection shows that the atmosphere is primed for storms
- W022953S
- An atmosphere primed for storms. Even in this strongly sheared environment, newer updrafts are growing faster than they are dissipated by the winds aloft and it won't be long before a storm emerges. This changeover from small clouds to long, tumbling rolls happens quickly (as little as ten minutes) when enough heat and moisture are lofted to weaken the inversion holding convection back.
