Most of the wind you experience in a thunderstorm is the result of rain-cooled air descending from the storm and spreading out at ground level. These winds are rather localized and periods of strong wind usually do not last very long.
In a hurricane, the wind is the result of air being drawn toward the intense low pressure at the eye of the storm. As a consequence of Earth's rotation, these winds spiral around the storm's center before being drawn up intot he rain beands and eye wall. Strong winds in a hurricane cover an area hundreds of miles across and often persist for hours.
What else can I help you with?
Which storm has the strongest fastest winds tornado hurricane or thunderstorm?
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
What are 2 most important factors for a hurricane thunderstorm or tornado to happen?
For a hurricane: warm sea surface temperatures and little to no wind shear For a thunderstorm: convective instability and a lifting mechanism to start convection For a tornado: strong thunderstorms and strong winds shear.
What weather event usually includes heavy precipitation strong winds and surface air temperature below 0 degrees c is it blizzard tornado hurricane or thunderstorm?
Blizzard since it it is so cold and strong winds
Is a thunderstorm a type of hurricane?
No.
What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
Where are the worst winds in a hurricane found?
The worst winds in a hurricane is inside the eye of the hurricane.
How long does it take for a hurricane to form from a thunderstorm?
A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).
Where do the deadliest winds come from in a hurricane?
The strongest winds of a hurricane are in the eye wall.
What are storms have a funnel shape?
Tornadoes are storms that have a funnel shape. They are characterized by rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground, causing high winds and potential damage.
What is a large spinning storm that has winds over 117 kilometers (73 miles) per hour?
A violent rotating windstorm spawned by a thunderstorm is a tornado.
What similarities does a thunderstorm and hurricane have?
They are both storms
When a hurricane is differ from a tornado is the winds of hurricane concentrated in a smaller area?
No. The winds of a tornado are concentrated in a much smaller area. Typically the winds of a hurricane affect an area a few hundred miles across. By contrast the winds of a tornado usually affect an area less than a quarter of a mile wide and rarely more than a mile.
