   Summary Author:  Jack Widner

   Shown in the photo above is a  rain shaft spotted in August 2016
   while driving southwest of Buffalo, New York. This specific  cloud
   burst was one of several that occurred day, including one east on I-90
   near the New York-Pennsylvania border. Rain shafts are a type of
    convection storm that have strong centralized  updrafts and
   downdrafts and produce very localized precipitation.
