Near Dalhart, Texas, US, Jonah Lange spotted a low-precipitation (LP) supercell rotating through the sky. Jonah explained that an LP supercell ‘is a highly-sheared rotating thunderstorm that produces minimal rain but can generate large hailstones and occasional tornadoes, is characterized by a highly visible updraft tower, and is often bell shaped’. Supercell storms like this are particularly appealing to storm chasers because they show a well-defined cloud structure with little rain to obscure the features. Jonah had followed this storm all the way to Texas from New Mexico.
