- Thunderstorms form when moisture, atmospheric instability and lift come together, with fronts often providing the lifting mechanism.
- Supercells are single-cell storms that can persist for hours, far longer than the minutes typical of many ordinary single-cell thunderstorms.
- A wind-shear-driven rotating updraft keeps the storm active longer and can create the hook echo associated with supercells on weather radar.
- Supercells almost always produce hail or damaging wind gusts, while the National Weather Service says only about 20% to 30% also produce tornadoes, which are then more likely to reach higher EF Scale ratings.
