Superimposed Low Level Flow Field
RFD outflow and inflow fields

[Image: tornado with superimposed flow field (67K)]
Photograph by: Moller

We have superimposed inflow and RFD outflow arrows on these two slides, again to emphasize the advance of the RFD and the eventual occlusion of the gust front.

[Image: convergence into updraft (69K)]
Photograph by: Moller

As tornado "A" lifts, inflow and outflow convergence rapidly increases into updraft and wall cloud "B".
