Notes:
Another type of severe weather phenomena is called the supercell. This type of storm is very organized and long lasting. These are the storms that usually produce tornadoes and cause most of the severe damage. A feature called a hook echo can be seen above the yellow arrow and is the area of the storm where a tornado would form.
In the storm where the higher reflectivity is depicted (red/orange), one would see heavy rain and hail.
