This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Thunderstorm Developmental Phases, Contributing factors include Winds, Developmental phases which are Dissipation, Maturation has primary contributing factors Dry air entrainment, Contributing factors include Conditionally unstable asmosphere, Lifting mechanisms include Mechanical lifting, Primary contributing factors include Reduction of low-level inflow, Conditionally unstable asmosphere which is Potential instability, Secondary thunderstorms caused by Intersection of outflow boundaries, Maturation may spawn Secondary thunderstorms, Developmental phases which are Development, Development requires Contributing factors, Temperature ie Weak inversion, Contributing factors include Vertical extent, Lack of storm tilt leads to Precipitation dampening of updrafts, Maturation has primary contributing factors Outflow aloft, Developmental phases which are Maturation, Maturation has primary contributing factors Cold air pools aloft, Maturation has primary contributing factors Low-level inflow, Winds ie. Low-level inflow, Reduction of westerly winds aloft leads to Lack of storm tilt
