| Caption | Turbulent storm clouds appear near Ulysses, Kansas, on the afternoon of June 3, 2019. Strong but shallow outflow winds are blowing from left to right. The difference in wind speed with height (vertical wind shear) is creating intense turbulence, which is reflected in the clouds. The bright spot is the core of a horizontal vortex created by the wind shear. | |
