Here is another question I can't find the answer to.
What type of WX to expect when updrafts go into the stratosphere during a thunderstorm.
If the updrafts are punching through into the stratospehre, which is rare, it must be a strong storm with some serious updrafts. Other then the possibility of large hail, heavier rain, higher winds, or stronger downdrafts during the dissipating stage, what else can there be? I looked online, but can't find much on the topic.. so this is me just taking a shot.
Or is the answer simply severe thunderstorm?
damn, I thought I could edit the thread title.. o well.
