Caption   Layers of low-instability air, rendered visible by suspended dust and haze, feed into a shelf cloud near Goodland, Kansas, on the evening of June 5, 2022. Outflow from the storm is visible as clearer air underneath the shelf cloud. The boundary between the outflow and ambient air is apparent, as the outflow wedges underneath the ambient air and helps lift it up into the shelf cloud.
