| Caption | The setting sun peaks out beneath the mesocyclone of a supercell storm captured in this wide-angle panorama, taken west of Lubbock, Texas on May 17, 2021. A clear slot, indicative of descending air associated with the rear flank downdraft, is evident along the western edge of the meso, giving the cloud base a horseshoe shape. | |
