thats why we have so many this year...our air is unstable...its june and the summer suns hot...and we have weather like winter which is causing the all these storms. the weather season this year is called El Ninia or the storm door is open. happens every few years. last year was el ninio so that meant dry weather and drouts this year lots of wet weather lots of rain. but not doing well with the summer sun. gonna be a long year.
This storm system may stay intact for several hours, at which point its thunderclouds are known as supercells. These storm clouds can send down an inch of rain in a mere ten minutes or shower the ground with baseball-sized hailstones. Supercells can accumulate into huge clusters, forming a line almost 100 miles long, which can then develop into mesocyclones.
When this occurs, the cold air on top begins to sink, sending the rising warm wind spinning upward. The warm winds rotate faster and faster in a high column. When the updraft is strong, the column can rise to heights of 10 miles or more, twisting at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour. The rotating winds produce strong storm clouds about 70,000 feet high, sometimes spreading 10 miles wide.
The warm southern winds try to rise, but the cold northern air blocks them. This clash causes the warm, trapped air to rotate horizontally between the two air masses. At the same time, the sun heats the earth below, warming more air that continues to try and rise. Finally, the rising warm wind become strong enough to force itself up through the colder air layer.
Tornado conditions are caused when different temperatures and humidity meet to form thunderclouds. the june sun and the cold temperature coming down from alaska causes the atmosphere there the clouds sit to be unstable air. thats when the rotation starts.
yea after it hit there it headed northeast towards Chico i live in willows...and me and my boyfriend headed out towards Glenn and there was lots of rotation it was starting to drop again. then the hail and rain started and the wind so we turned off the road towards Bayliss and got outa there but if it would have dropped our car would have flipped.
thank you for your post. Obviously you did a great job in clarifying that it was "forming" so ignore the ignorant. What impressed me more than the obvious twisting of the cloud at the point (obvious to me) was the fact that for over 7 minutes this storm, the clouds, never moved an inch. Since when do storms in California produce non-moving clouds, clouds as thick as these, and a hint of tornados.? Never. Something is wrong with our skies and it has government written all over it.
@lotsofsmarts the reason we have so many are in my comments. read from the bottom up its actually pretty interesting to know. i chase these storms and so i have to know about them. i was out yesterday when this one hit and followed it from yuba to chico.
@mimies2008 as far as my comment; I was referring to the ignorant comment made by don2010. I was giving you a "thumbs up" and a thanks for the post. He showed his ignorance and is obviously uneducated. Way too many of these type of people who shoot off their mouth in order to make themselves feel powerful. He was making a jab at you and it drives me nuts! Good work. Thanks for the post!
I got so damn scared when I seen the tornado!
