Check out this gustnado that formed on the outflow of the thunderstorm today. Not a true tornado but it did enhance some damage. This was off Berkshire Blvd today via Ashley #cltwx #ncwx #wcnc US National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC | Brad Panovich Meteorologist

A gustnado??? This hyper localized ground base vortex of wind forms along the leading edge of an outflow from a thunderstorm. It’s not considered a tornado because it does not connect to the base of the cloud deck. #science #weather #gustnado #thunderstorm #rain #laborday #newengland #RhodeIsland | Jason Doris WJAR

Gustnado in Trussville earlier when the storm passed through. A gustnado (a blend of the words “gust front” and “tornado”) is a brief, shallow, surface-based whirlwind that forms along the leading edge of a thunderstorm. They are not associated with storm scale rotation, and are classified as thunderstorm wind events. Video from Kayden Russell | James Spann
