Shelf cloud |
Additional notes
This shelf cloud was associated with a strong thunderstorm that had a
history of producing damaging winds (downed trees and power lines in
southern Brown County). However the storm had weakened by the time
it reached the photographer in northern Brown County. As seen in
this photo, a shelf cloud which is displaced well ahead of a
thunderstorm often is a sign that a storm is losing its potential for
severe winds (the rain here is located way behind the trees on the
right). Accordingly, the photographer reported that winds were
only around 30 mph when the storm moved overhead.
