Painting - Oil On Panel
Description
Singleton Lake was in a hot, humid and unstable air mass. Convection was being maintained overnight by short wave troughs embedded in the upper flow. This particular tower erupted above the cloud deck just after dawn and sparkled in the sunrise light for just a few minutes. A heavy shower crossed Singleton Lake a couple of hours later. I think there was some thunder as well.
The stable layer was quite pronounced at the top of the solid mass of cloud. The strands of altocumulus preceding the convection were displayed in gravity waves at the inversion. The water vapour image shows the north to south deformation and the leading edge of the convection through Napanee. The convective tops were even starting to show on the watervapour image.

Beautiful serenity and contrasts in this very evocative work Phil! FL

If the thunderstorm is more than 20 km away ... more or less, the thunder doesn't make it to the surface.
