#Lp Supercell

Lp supercell in Oklahoma 👀 A low-precipitation (LP) supercell is a special type of supercell thunderstorm that forms in relatively dry atmospheric conditions and produces only a small amount of rain. Supercells in general are powerful, long-lasting thunderstorms characterized by a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which allows them to persist for hours and often generate severe weather such as large hail, strong winds, and sometimes tornadoes. An LP supercell differs from other types because it contains very little visible precipitation. Instead of heavy rain, it typically produces only isolated but often very large hailstones. This happens because the dry environment limits the number of raindrops in the storm, allowing small supercooled water droplets to attach to growing hailstones, making them larger over time. Visually, LP supercells are often easier to recognize than other supercells because their structure is not hidden by rain. They usually appear slim, well-defined, and sometimes bell-shaped, with a clearly visible rotating updraft. These storms are often found in regions with lower humidity, such as semi-arid plains. Although they produce less rain, LP supercells can still be dangerous. They are capable of producing large hail and occasionally tornadoes, and their clear structure can make them especially striking to observe. Overall, an LP supercell is a drier, more visually distinct version of a supercell thunderstorm, combining strong rotation with minimal precipitation.

Check out this view of a sculpted LP supercell just before it produced a tornado near Woodward, OK! This supercell was one of two we documented on this early Spring storm chase with several tornadoes documented from Woodward to Sharon, OK. This archive chase is one of our classics, and one I need to revisit sometime soon with a more fleshed out video. This is another recent anniversary for us as we look ahead to the upcoming chances of severe weather returning to the Plains.

Beautiful LP supercell 🌪 This LP ( low precip ) supercell has formed next to us and staying in the same spot for one hour. The other supercell was a HP ( high precip ) and it was exactly behind the LP, we already could see the wall cloud. • Măureni, Romania • 23 May 2025 #Supercell #severeweather #stormphotography #thunderstorm #Thunderstorm #tornado #forceofnature #stormchaser #timelapse #gopro #Romania

Uma pequena linha de instabilidades se aproximando do leste e um acentuado cisalhamento do vento entre os baixos e os médios gerou na dianteira um bonito mesociclone na tarde de ontem, 03 de janeiro de 2025. É o primeiro evento de supercélula da temporada e do ano. Desde 2019 que não falta, no mínimo, uma vez, a formação de supercélula. Esse foi do tipo mais comum por aqui: baixa precipitação (LP supercell). Note a rotação da nuvem até os médios níveis. Em alguns momentos chegou a formar uma estria. O mesociclone passou bem em cima de mim e seguiu para o oeste, até se dissipar. A chuva associada estacionou a leste e só veio um sereno. Ventava bastante de nordeste antes, o que ajudou a acentuar mais ainda o cisalhamento. Na passagem do mesociclone, o vento mudou de leste, voltando a ficar de nordeste novamente após a passagem. O vento aumentou gradualmente de velocidade à medida que o mesociclone se aproximou, ficando bem forte na chegada.

This is an LP supercell in it dissipating stages north of Rapid City, SD on July 6, 2021! The clear air around reveals the entire structure of the spiraling mesocyclone and updraft tower! #RapidCitySD #SouthDakota #storm #nature #Stormchasing #July #summer #sunset #ig_stormchasers

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 Celebrating the beauty of our planet with this incredible sculpted LP supercell - May 16 2021 near Cofferville, TX . #EarthDay #EarthDay2026 #stormchasing

One of the most amazing sunsets I have witnessed happened in Eastern New Mexico (where else?!) 2 years ago, as this isolated LP Supercell was showing off its amazing structure while slowly but steadily succumbing to a more stable layer of air. I never imagined, this could be topped, but this year, an even more epic LP supercell totally blew this one away! Still, one of the greats ❤️ #supercell #sunset #timelapse

Watch it spin!! This LP supercell was an absolute blast to capture as it spun from Possum Kingdom Lake down to Palo Pinto, Tx. I could watch this all day!
