Bow--Shaped Line Of Thunderstorms - Honeywell Primus 880 Pilot's Manual

PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System
AVOID BOW- SHAPED LINE OF ECHOES BY 20 MILES
Sometimes a fast moving, broken to solid thunderstorm line will
become bow- shaped as shown in figure 5- 48. Severe weather is most
likely along the bulge and at the north end, but severe weather can
occur at any point along the line. Bow- shaped lines are particularly
disruptive to aircraft operations because they are broken to solid and
may accelerate to speeds in excess of 70 knots within an hour.
