Why aren’t tornadoes embedded in squall lines or tornadoes in high-precipitation supercells destroyed by downdrafts?
TornadoWhy Tornadoes Aren’t Embedded in Squall Lines Tornadoes are often associated with severe thunderstorms, but they are not typically embedded in squall lines. Squall lines, which are long lines of thunderstorms, are characterized by a strong, linear structure with a continuous line of precipitation. While squall lines can produce damaging winds and hail, they generally
