A SCIENCE NOTE
Flanking Line — An organized lifting zone of cumulus and towering cumulus clouds, connected to and extending outward from the mature updraft tower of a supercell or strong multicell convective storm.
The flanking line often has a stair-step appearance, with the tallest clouds adjacent to the mature updraft tower.
Climate Change Impact:
Rising global temperatures and increased moisture in the atmosphere, driven by climate change, are intensifying the development of supercell storms and their associated flanking lines. Warmer air holds more water vapor, enhancing convection and leading to more frequent and intense towering cumulus formations. Additionally, shifts in wind shear patterns and increased atmospheric instability contribute to the rapid growth and organization of flanking lines, potentially making severe weather events more destructive and unpredictable.
