LP

Today's photo is of a LP (or "Low Precipitation") supercell on June 9, 2009, near Dodge City, Kansas, This is a storm that started out like a classic supercell before transitioning into this beautiful LP. At frame center, you can see the inflow base with slight lowering. To the right, you can see a small precipitation core quite far from the updraft base. Just beautiful structure. While I don't have an special insight into the science end of Vortex 2, I imagine that it was good that they had a chance to scan and observe this storm, seeing as it transitioned from a classic to an LP, and that seems (to me) to be an interesting thing to collect data on.
