What is a landspout and how did one tear through a Colorado business park?
When we normally think of a tornado, most people go to Twister or picture the Wizard of Oz. They think of the powerful storms spinning down from massive, rotating thunderstorms, triggering tornado warnings, and potentially causing major damage. However, not all tornadoes form the same way, and with recent storms across Colorado, we have seen those in the form of landspouts. A landspout tornado is a less intense tornado. It looks like a skinny rope extending from a cloud to the ground. It can spin quickly and may even pick up dust or debris, but it's usually weaker and shorter-lived than the classic tornadoes we see in severe weather outbreaks. Landspouts typically form on hot, dry days when there's instability and thunderstorms overhead, but the landspouts lack the rotating core of a mesocyclone that drives more dangerous tornadoes. Low pressure at the surface forms rising air that rushes in, filling the low and increasing the circulation, and rising. As a thunderstorm develops overhead, the updraft stretches the landspout up to the cloud. That stretching will tighten the rotation and create the landspout tornado. The storm picks up dust and debris, much like a tornado. Eventually, the landspout picks up cooler air, which kills the circulation. The Franktown landspout on Monday caused damage and came to the area without much warning, as many landspouts do. While the classic tornado forms from mesocyclones, and strong rotations that are easy to detect on radar, landspouts form from non-rotating, ordinary thunderstorms, usually along an outflow or dryline. They happen quickly, near the surface, and don't often present warning signatures on radar. Even though a landspout is usually weaker, it is still considered a tornado and should still be treated as such if you see a funnel forming in your area.

Bryan Norcross: Disturbance continues to drench Florida, could develop in Gulf
Updated at 9 a.m. ET, Tuesday, July 15, 2025 The tropical disturbance that created bands of torrential tropical downpours on Monday will move across the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday. Heavy rain with local flooding and frequent lightning is likely over the Florida Peninsula once again. Stay aware of flood alerts that are issued by the National Weather Service. The disturbance is showing some signs of a circulation, but it's disorganized and broad. The air is already extremely humid over Florida, and the disturbance is bringing more tropical moisture with it. The moisture combined with the heating of the day will likely produce intense, slow-moving thunderstorms – the type that can cause local flooding. The system is forecast to move into the Gulf tomorrow where it might have a chance to organize over the very warm water. The National Hurricane Center has the odds of it becoming at least a tropical depression in the medium range. According to the computer forecasts, if it does develop an organized circulation, it's most likely to do it late tomorrow or early Thursday when it is approaching Louisiana. Interestingly, most of the computer forecasts show a fairly weak system in the vicinity of southeastern Louisiana by Thursday. But the new Google experimental AI model and some others indicate that the system could quickly spin up into a reasonably strong storm. The name would be Tropical Storm Dexter. The idea is that the model gives us a reasonable range of possibilities, so we know what to ready for. It's not a forecast as much as it's a heads up. So the strength of the system is an open question, but the very heavy rain over the northern Gulf coast from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana looks likely. Be ready for flood watches to be issued for areas along the coast. As always, forecasts for disorganized or just developing systems are subject to greater errors and often have to be adjusted when and if a consolidated circulation develops. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, a robust tropical disturbance is midway between Africa and the Caribbean. It's on a southern track and will likely bring a noticeable moisture surge to the southeastern Caribbean islands and Venezuela late in the week. The tropical ocean is still blanketed with dry air and Saharan dust, so development is not expected. But it's a reminder that the African disturbance-producing system is working. The ocean water temperatures are warming between the Caribbean and Africa, so in a couple of weeks, we'll start looking in that direction for possible article source: Bryan Norcross: Disturbance continues to drench Florida, could develop in Gulf

Southern Westchester under flood watch Monday, July 14. See the forecast from NWS
Southern Westchester is under a flood watch starting 2 p.m. Monday, July 14, according to an alert issued by the National Weather Service. According to the alert, a forecast of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with potential for heavy rains, Monday afternoon and evening could result in rainfall rates of 2-plus inches per hour. "A widespread 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches of rainfall is likely with localized rainfall totals of up to 3 inches possible," the NWS alert says. "Much of this could fall in only 3 to 4 hours, causing isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding." Flooding in urban and poor drainage areas could be possible due to excessive runoff. "Small rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations" could also flood. Residents should "monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings," the NWS said. "Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop."
