Wall Cloud
Additional Views:
A wall cloud is a cloud formation associated with thunderstorms. It is a deffinate lowering of the cloud base typically beneath the rain-free portion of a cumulonimbus cloud, and indicates the area of primary and strongest updraft which condenses into cloud at altitudes lower than that of the ambient cloud base. Sometimes, the wall cloud will often be seen to be rotating. A rotating wall cloud is the area of the thunderstorm which is most likely to produce tornadoes, and the vast majority of intense tornadoes.
