Outflow Boundary

Posted: 28 May 2002 07:17 AM

This morning's RADAR is showing an outflow boundary (the thin blue line, note the wind shift). An outflow boundary is the furthest extent that thunderstorm processed air has been pushed away from the storm. These boundaries are important focusing mechanisms for further thunderstorm development.
