A supercell is a highly organized thunderstorm characterized by a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. These storms are capable of producing severe weather phenomena, including large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Supercells typically have a distinct structure with a well-defined anvil-shaped cloud top and can persist for several hours, making them one of the most dangerous types of thunderstorms. They are often associated with severe weather outbreaks and are studied extensively in meteorology for their unique dynamics.
