Comma Cloud Development Related to Major Winter Storms - Two Examples.

Abstract

This Technical Note discusses the relationship of comma cloud development over the southern Rockies and plain states to the developing storm system. Emphasis is placed on the likelihood that the storm system will soon recurve northeast-ward when the comma cloud becomes well-defined. A brief look at the structure and the development of the comma cloud is included. Two case studies are presented. (Author)
