Yesterday as remnants of Wali passed Maui there was a thunderstorm that collapsed about 20 miles east of Maui. I have never heard the term before. Looking at the weather for that time the temp. went down about 5 degrees and the wind really picked up from a gusty 10mph to a gusty 50mph. Then reports after the collapse rain and wind from NOAA were drizzle and fog. Not very often do we get fog.
I can only guess that the collapsing of the storm brought the straight line winds, rain and also the cool dry air to bring the fog. My question what causes a "collapsing thunderstorm"? If you have never seen one I found a cool vid on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZPsSoP06Vg |
