updraft

Definitions

Examples

• In general, three bands developed, and the eastern band in particular generated a number of tornado warnings as embedded cells acquired rotating updrafts.

• An unstable air mass and humid air mass, for one, which provided the buoyant energy for strong cloud updrafts.

• These could rob rising cloud updrafts of some of their buoyancy, weakening thunderstorm cells.

• If a thunderstorm cell was able to get going, then those strong wind changes could impart a spin to the updraft.

• Instead, their water evaporates, creating a humid layer that makes it easier for air to rise quickly through the atmosphere as strong, storm-brewing updrafts.

• Joe had found a strong updraft where a wind ran up the side of a mountain.

• They got the wind against their nose and started a humming dive, feeling in the alien updraft for the obstruction which caused it.

• I could stand to have another hit ready when Updraft petered out.

• Parodisiac was much too good to hold for the closing of Updraft.

• Hail appears to be formed in the violent updraft of air at the front of a thunderstorm.
