QLCS INFORMATION:
A Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS), also known as a squall line can harbor strong straight-line winds, heavy precipitation, hail, A LOTTA lightning and possibly tornadoes… For me, squall lines often provide spectacular storm scenery and other weird phenomenon. This video highlights an array of fascinating weather along with storm relative locations of where you’re most likely to witness these beautiful sights.
SHELF CLOUDS:
Shelf clouds often form over the leading edge of linear thunderstorm outflow. Being overtaken by a shelf cloud can seem like being swallowed by a colossal whale. Inside the “Whale’s Mouth,” clouds of eerie turbulence loom overhead.
QLCS TORNADOES
Squall lines sometimes stretch 100s of miles. This storm mode generally is not prolific at producing tornadoes as strong, cold outflow winds undercut the updraft and surge ahead of the storm as a gust front. Along the gust front is a good place to look for dust lofting eddies called gustnadoes. Transient tornadoes can suddenly develop in enhanced cyclonic convergence anywhere the QLCS is able to take in inflow near the surface. Sometimes in line kinks, embedded supercells can develop and may produce stronger rain wrapped tornadoes. Another place to look for tornadoes is in new cellular development at the tail end of the line were warm moist inflow is unimpeded by storm outflow.
QLCS LIGHTNING
The frequent lightning can provide opportunities for beautiful photography and video. Positioning behind the squall often provides a clear view of mammatus clouds, especially around sunset.
In the increasing Darkness, more and more lightning activity is revealed. In the trailing stratiform region of a QLCS is an excellent place to catch the most erratic of lightning discharges. The most prized visuals of these flashes to me is ground-to-cloud lightning or upward-moving lightning.
QLCS SPRITES and JETS
From tens of miles away, look closely for dim, red spurts of light above the QLCS. These strange electrical discharges are called Sprites. Light sensitive cameras really make sprites pop against the backdrop of stars on a dark night. To see more sprites, check out Paul Smith's youtube channel...

I agree absolutely.

I totally agree!!!
He has all these skills and also great knowledge and then the balls to chase storms
I've learned more about weather in 6 months of watching Hank than I have from 20+ years of school & TV documentaries.
D J, just saw a old Bill Nye video about tornadoes, it was awful and horrible information. I have been into weather for around 30 years, and what they thought about tornadoes is different than now.
I totally agree!!!
@Isabella Garner if nobody asks for your age then there is no need to mention it.
Sir, this is incredible. The footage and editing is something I'd expect on the history channel or a documentary, even then this tops anything 100x that they catch or produce. I'm amazed, in awe and speechless, keep up the beautiful work!!

I found myself audibly ooh-ing and whoa-ing to this. Such beauty, and so artfully captured. Thank you!
You weren't alone. Especially the lightning scenes. Fireworks are fun, but I'll take a natural light show over them every time.
Same!! @vegancatcroissant btw, I Love the name!
ooooo....ahhhh
Hank gorgeous narration! Gorgeous photography! Gorgeous music! Such talent. You amaze me. I so look forward to your videos. You have outdone National Geographic!
I was just going to say that Nat Geo has nothing on Hank! Absolutely fantastic!
Couldn't agree more, this content is just mind blowing. Nothing comes close to it.
@Jelmer Vroomans I couldn't agree more! He has my utmost respect and love. There's a side to this I just realized. As long as he's doing all his own work it will continue to be the high quality mind blowing result we've been seeing. If he became involved with others in similar fields he risks that changing.
@@Jigsaw407 Yeah - the amazing thing is that in most other situations saying something like, "This is better than National Geographic" would get you a lot of well-deserved eye rolls; but in Hank's case it's just true. Seriously talented individual!
Totally agree on that
The Earth never fails to amaze me.
My father was an atmospheric research chemist. Everyone in my family loves the sky. Thank you.
That sounds really impressive.
@@oceanview2965 He was the most intelligent person I have ever known.
@@updownstate I can't even imagine the schooling it takes for that. I bet you learned so much from him. The skies a cool playground. He picked an awesome career😊. I noticed you put, "was." If he has passed, I'm sorry for your loss.
@@oceanview2965 Thank you for your condolence. He died in 2014 age 92. He was in the Army Air Corps and a friend convinced him that they could go to college on the GI Bill, make $10,000 a year and never worry again. So he was up and running, loved college, ending up with a PhD. He also liked cats.
@@updownstate sounded like a great guy, sorry for your loss.
I think my favorite kind of thunderstorm is the ones in the fall. When they drastically change the temperature- signaling of the colder days to follow. I'll be standing on my deck watching it across the creek- a gust of wind hits me and it chills me to the bone, like a sign to say farewell to summer, and that winter is coming ;).
I agree
Me too. Nothing, makes me happier, than to see the Summer come to an end. With the exact description you have given.
"..so it begins."
I wish so bad if that kind of weather would happen here! A thunderstorm here is as rare as a meteor storm, or a blizzard.
I wish I could experience that. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and it doesn’t look like I’m ever getting out.
*HANK WE MISS YOU....WHO ELSE MISSES HANK...I LOVE YOU BRO!!!*
*YOUR camera work is so good.Way better that Josh Normans and the guy from "Weather Channel"*

KING & QUEEN what happened to hank😔
What a wondrous blend of technical info and superb footage. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching your videos, as opposed to other known "stormchasers". You educate in a way a child like me (I'm 63...) can understand, you are calm and not shouting & over-animated and you are actually slowly reducing my utter terror of tornadoes. I "watched trees fly" when I was 4 years old in central Ohio and those images will be with me forever. Then in my very early 20s I moved to SE Wyoming. I never minded the STRONG winds and extreme cold there, but watching tornadoes form VERY close by several times every summer was just too much. I am now in NW Wyoming and live in a perfect spot, like in a little cove of mountains at the west edge of a big basin. Go any direction 2 or 3 miles and you may find yourself in, at best, a supercell. But in 33 years I have lived here, have only been 2 ropey twisters -which were 3-5 miles out of town. Thank you for your great meteorological education!!
How could more than 400 people not like, or be fascinated by this?
probably they are afraid of the forces of nature
Crakmatic your reading comprehension is flawed. It was a question.
Only because they're jealous...only reason.
They dislike themselves...

Incredible job Hank, as always. Some of the best videos on CZcams, hands down.
If you guys haven't already, seriously consider becoming a patron for Hank on patreon. It's definitely worth it, plus it allows him to make incredible videos like this!
Thanks Jonny.
Never clicked so fast
Yep!
I actually said 'YES!' so loud my kid came running in to see what was up. 😀
Same!
Agreed lmao
I yelled so loud that I scared my dog!
For a storm related content, this is by far my most favorites. The cinematics, the editing, the capture of the phenomenon and the simplicity in how you execute every scene. God I have no words to describe this.
I had a teacher when I was young... he was so fascinating when talking about how storm are created... he just created a passion that never got away... there is not enough of these teachers...
This is such a great video! I look forward to all of your videos!

The spectacular storms
Outstanding sir!

@Black Toof Who cares?
@Black Toof Tough times as a child huh?
The lightning coming up from the ground was amazing!!!
From objects in our atmosphere making gravitational connections to earths core.
@Dave Pawson Why you gotta be like that? Don't be like that.
@@dreamweaver6014 its not gravity, this is the earths electric circuit on display
must be all the friction from the water particles rubbing together on the ground 😉 just pretend you never saw the sprites 🤫
Dream Weaver you meant EM connections not gravitational.
This is one of my favourite videos ever. Absolutely beautiful. Six minutes i've just been staring at it in complete awe, and this isn't my first time watching either. I hope you can put together more like this, it's so soothing and relaxing, like meditating! If you do see this comment, thanks a ton!
I am of the same mind and emotion watching this footage, it is breathtaking. I will be saving it to a list to watch more times, I am mesmerized
Simply amazing, Hank. If you love extreme weather, you can't get any better than this.
What, no screaming nut cases trying to get themselves killed by flying tractors?! Best stormchasing channel out there, beautiful footage, great explanations, and musical talent to boot, love it! Thank you!
Naders! I'm a Kansan. We live for storms!
XD
Flying tractors? I love the image!
the most underrated channel on youtube
This is your Masterpiece! The soundtrack is in perfect consort.
Please please please make a 1 or 2 hour nature compilation we can buy. The visuals you frame, along with your sound editing, are breathtaking and incredibly relaxing.
That flash scene with the train passing was superb (5:50), honestly the best 5 seconds of video I’ve seen, the amount you are able to capture in these shots is mind blowing.
Wow! You caught sprites! Only seen those on National Geographic :D
This video of Hank's has to be one of my favorites. This isn't "storm chasing" this is nature videography raised to the level of art.
Quality, informative, excellent narrative, good balance of everything. Extremely enjoyable. Thank you so very much.
These are some of the most stunning and beautiful images I've ever seen.
Although stunning,I just hate the destruction it causes to life and our well being.
Imagine living in 100 AD and seeing storms like this. No weather forecasting technology. No advanced warnings. This stuff just seemingly pops out of nowhere.
It's no wonder why mythology and stories about the supernatural exist.
Yeah .... and they thought it was Gods.
Yea same with religions, like if a jesus Christ was real lol. I can see how they randomly made up a book...
I mean a fairytale
@@mcmuffin558 What? Im not even religious, but there's proof Jesus Christ was a real person, now if you believe that he rose from the dead 3 days after he was killed, thats up to you
@@andrespaz4439 I hope and pray mcmuffin gets saved
Storms like this never existed before up until about 50 years ago. Cloudseeding, Chemtrails and Microwave Pulse has change everything. Modern weather is manmade.
AWESOMELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL O MY GOODNESS I JUST TRULY LOVE THE LIGHTING AWESOME THANKS FOR SHARING MADE MY DAY KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT AWESOMELY AMAZINGLY STORM CHASING THANKS AGAIN GOD BLESS
My wife and I used to chase the night thunderstorms, so beautiful the lightning, and the pouring rain.
This video re-affirms Pecos Hank's as the best CZcams channel out there.
I see Pecos. I click.
if you guys turn on the subtitles throughout the video, you'll see that every time Pecos Hank says 'tornado' it is written as 'tomato'

[MY FAVORITE MOMENTS OF THE VID]
This is my favorite video on youtube. It's amazing. I keep coming back to it and am left in awe every time
I just came across this video, and I wanted to thank you for sharing this footage with us! I love your music and cinematography, and also tomatoes.
No lettuce?
Pecos Hank uploaded. My taxes can wait.
Is anyone else crying? This is so beautiful that tears are streaming down my cheeks. God's artistry never fails to awe and humble me. There is something so mesmerizing and calming about your videos and storms. The music really enhances the experience.
If you have never experienced those conditions you wold think it's all CGI but it certainly isn't and amazing to see in person! A very well produced piece!
Pecos Hank, I am in awe with your talent, patients, absolutely stunning videos, and your demeanor. The music is a perfect mix of quality, ambient mood settings to make one feel like they are there. Thank you for the videos. Certainly art worthy. If i could only put them up on a wall.
This comment expresses my feelings on the video and I am sure numerous others. Well said.
Same feeling here
Howdy Justice - Yeah ... who knew he was really Dr. Pecos Hank?
You did it again man. I hate to think about the beauty monetarily but that’s a damned big trove of perfect footage that meteorologists definitely want to get their hands on (including your radar location) to see how these things work.
And now Hank is partnering with Dr Leigh Orf, matching Hank's real storms up with what Leigh's models in the supercomputer predict. Very prescient!
Pecos Hank, your artistic cinematic eye, academic knowledge of meteorology and your relentless pursuit of these storms make your vids really special.
Thank you.
My good man you are a true artist in every sense of the word thank you for your work
The music makes it way better.
I got the best footage of a squall line I ever recorded yesterday. It was a small storm that lasted less then 10 minutes. But it was crazy! I couldn't even see the trees right across from me.
Would you consider uploading? I'd love to see it.

Great beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us. 😀👍
This is some high quality video. Pretty much the best i've seen. Well documented and narrated. Absolutely left me in awe in capturing the beauty of nature and it storms, tornadoes and the side effect of a storm etc. Also different angles on where you're based from the storm gives different scenery made me more astounded. Once again great production!
Many things you show on your video are so beautiful.
Beautiful compilation. Are you still storm chasing? I noticed you haven’t been posting as much anymore.
Its late november so its not season. It lasts from late april to about early july. But this year was absolutely terrible for tornadoes. Absolutely nothing happened this year. No activity=no Hank :/
nick davis oh right ☺️ thanks for the response.
Yeah 2018 was one of the weakest on record. It was full of odd-placed events like New England including PA, and now Dixie alley saw some late second-season action. Definitely one of the strangest years, meteorologically speaking.
Jonny Glessner I live in northern New Hampshire and we had a tornado in late June, first tornado the state’s had it at least 10 years
@@StormChasersofOhio northern California had some too, I live up by Sacramento and not too far in Wheatland there was one. I think I saw the state as a whole had more tornadoes than Oklahoma did
your photography is second to none, just beautiful your knowledge of this topic, with your videos can save lives, i bet you have saved many, you are a treasure. well done.
Unbelievable, award winning meteorological footage! Perplexing doesn’t quite say it!! This old geezer is in awe!!!
Mamatus is something beautiful to watch. You often see them before and after the storm.
Wow!!! The video is so crisp! Loved the starburst effect of the train, the red mammatus sunset, and the distant lightning with the stars above the clouds, it brought to mind the Aurora Borealis! This was so worth waiting for!
Kristina Pike , my only grandchild is a girl named Aurora ! ✌
Glad you like it Kristina. Thanks as always.
Thanks for this video! Never heard such a clear description with such great visuals! One thing this channel has taught me is that tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms are gorgeous works of art, very calming.
One questions, are tornadoes associated with squall lines from supercells. You did mention some can form from more cyclonic activity then some with embedded supercells. Does that mean the prior is not associated with a supercell?
Thanks Nick. You can get tornadoes is squall lines from embedded supercells and also from something called mesovortices. We generally call those QLCS tornadoes. @@nickdavis965
@@PecosHank Oh ok thank you
My favourite kind of lightning is the anvil crawler. I have had them stretch across the entire sky, right in front of my eyes. They are so majestic and beautiful.
You and your team have some of the most stunning photography of any storm chaser videos out there. Just sublime.
Few things in life are more beautiful than mammatus clouds. You are my favorite storm expert and photographer
I've seen mammatus in person. It's like seeing a mass of grayish, white boobs hanging from the sky, yet somehow it's way more terrifying than it sounds.
“Drive under the moon” is still boomin. I love it so much.😩😭😭😭❤️❤️

Rewatching some of these amazing videos after a few years. Man these shots are beautiful! You get some of the best shots of severe weather I’ve ever seen.
Bro, you aren’t just a storm chaser. You’re a goddamn artist. Top notch video
Man, I’ve watched every single one of Hank’s videos at least 8 times or more. I hope this guy makes it to the top and makes millions of $$$. These productions are absolutely incredible and better than what the Discovery Channel and Nat Geo can produce
Indeed, he is very talented, and a great humanitarian, lover of nature, and respect for all of our beautiful creatures on this planet.
I agree, Hanks footage and experience needs to actually be immortalized on the big screen, the footage is absolutely jaw dropping, the music composition is his own, I have discovered, and the perfection of it, plus the soothing tone of his voice, creates a viewing experience unlike anything I have ever seen. This is a work of art and I think millions of people would want to view, then buy and own, a Pecos Hank Storm Footage Cinematic Production. I am not sure why no major production heads have leapt at the opportunity to make it happen yet.
Beautiful video, i watch and re-watch all your work
