...twisters are most likely to be generated by what are termed supercell storms--towering cloud structures that sometimes top out at 65,000 ft. and concentrate energy in dangerous ways. Supercells typically form in spring as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico flows north and pushes through colder, dryer layers of air. As it rises, this upwelling of warm air begins to cool, and the moisture it contains condenses first into cloud droplets and then into rain. At that point, the air--now denser because it is colder--starts to sink. But at the same time, the process...
...updraft descends from the mesocyclone like a vacuum cleaner's nozzle. To the eye, this is exactly what appears to be happening. But while scientists agree that the updraft is essential, many doubt that it provides the sole mechanism for tornado formation. Some scientists think the rapid sinking of colder, dryer air near the rear flank of the storm may be key. If this rush of air encounters wind shear on its way down, then it too will start to rotate. In this scenario, a tornado occurs as air from the downdraft nears the ground, swoops out horizontally and--attracted...
This track that has been the focus of a three year comeback will be put to the test today along with its home team.

For the past 40 years audiences have favored the colder, more analytical approach of pianists like Leon Fleischer, Gary Graffman and Maurizio Pollini. The brief romantic revival of the late 1960s highlighted his expertise with such composers as Chopin and Lizst, but Wild has never received the critical acclaim he deserves...
