Perhaps the warm advection played a key role in the thunderstorm's premature demise? Plus the turkey-neck updraft shot that you posted just looks like something you'd expect to see when a layer of potentially warmer air at mid levels permeates the body of a mature thunderstorm. What do you think Roger? Hi Roger,
