That strange ‘anvil-top’ cloud formation -- spotted yesterday by brookbanktv and some of our viewers -- was a distant thunderstorm, says TrentMWeather.
CLEVELAND — On Wednesday afternoon, several viewers and one of our own news anchors noticed an unusual cloud in the sky with a protruding “anvil-top-like” formation at the top.https://t.co/XuXVaGJBfq pic.twitter.com/suhAi8xqy4
— Karl Capen August 17, 2022 You can come out of your bunker — News 5’s Trent Magill says this formation isn’t actually that unusual. It’s just a thunderstorm, but it’s what a thunderstorm looks like from about 20 miles away. While close to the horizon, because it’s so far off, it’s a view of the cloud as it sits about 30,000 feet up in the sky. The top fans out like that from the upper levels of winds blowing the top off to the side.
As News 5’s Mike Brookbank suspected, that cloud was the small storm he saw on his News 5 App’s weather radar, just very far off from where he was viewing it.— Mike Brookbank August 17, 2022 That storm pulsed up, meaning it built fast, rained itself out and faded away. Magill estimated the full life cycle was about 45 minutes.
