Tail Cloud Inflow Band and Rear Flank Downdraft Gust Front, Southwestern Ector County, TX, June 2007

Two images of an Inflow Band ingested by a HP Supercell cyclonic circulation (slightly descended wall cloud), captured in extreme southwestern Ector Co., Texas on June 3rd, 2007, approximate 2200 Z as viewed from ENE. The Rear Flank Downdraft gust front, in second image, is seen just to the left (horizontal blowing dust at surface) of the southern precipitation core advancing and beginning to wrap around the updraft region of the Rain Free Cloud Base. The last image is taken very close to beneath the updraft region looking southwest where strong Rear Flanking Downdraft and associated Gust Front is blowing dust from northwest to southeast. After retreating away from advancement of storm the circulation updraft region became obscurred by occlusion from RFD (rain wrapped)
