Eventually, the downdraft becomes stronger than the updraft, cutting off the storm’s supply of warm, moist air. As a result, precipitation tapers off and the storm enters its dissipating stage.

The key attention herein is paid to a previously unexplored issue–an experimental study of the air flow thermal choking effect in an inclined mine working at various angles of its inclination, as well ...

Thunderstorms over southern Colorado are likely to be strong on Friday afternoon.

Eventually, a critical point is reached where the updraft can no longer support the volume of rain/hail within the thunderstorm, and it becomes downdraft-dominant.

Two construction workers were killed during a bout of very intense weather in Brevard County, where gusty winds coming off thunderstorms to the south of the area could have encouraged a crane to ...

Hail forms in strong thunderstorms that contain an updraft and downdraft. The raindrops in these thunderstorms will freeze due to the colder temperatures.

A correlation exists between a thunderstorm's updraft speeds and the size of hail it can produce. For example, non-severe hail up to nickel size will require updraft speeds less than 47 mph.

Several photos showed the landspout formed near the city in southeast New Mexico.

With the cycling air of the downdraft and the updraft, this is now called a cumulonimbus cloud and is now deemed a thunderstorm cell.
