Convective outflow boundaries (gust fronts) are formed by cold air descending from thunderstorms, creating a mesoscale cold front. Pilots should avoid gust fronts moving ahead of the convection, as ...

Thundersnow is possible, but it is pretty rare. The reason has to do with the conditions needed for lightning to form in a ...

Central Texas witnessed one of its worst flood events on record during a busy holiday weekend. The combination of heavy rainfall and the hilly terrain led to the extreme rise in rivers and a Flash ...

Tropical and midlatitude precipitation is fundamentally of two types, spatially limited and high-intensity convective or widespread and lower-intensity stratiform, owing to differences in vertical air ...

Severe convective storms, also known as severe thunderstorms, may not generate the same headlines as hurricanes, but these storms can pose a greater threat to inland solar and wind energy projects.

To effectively present the uncertainty of convective-scale weather forecasts, convective-scale ensemble prediction systems have been developed at major operational centers, whose lateral boundary ...

(WLUK) -- Once the weather starts to warm up and we head into our severe weather season, it's not unusual at all to see us using maps that look like the image below. This is a convective outlook from ...

Severe weather —thunderstorms which include tornadoes,damaging wind, and/or hail—account for nearly half (47%) of the 323 billion-dollar weather disasters that have impacted the U.S. since 1980. This ...
