Looking east from about 40 miles away, we see a line of towering cumulus clouds and a large supercell storm in the background. Note the great amount of anvil overhang and the large overshooting dome at the summit of the updraft.

Distant supercells frequently have this domed, "diffluent" anvil appearance, with the supercell's tremendous updraft velocities and outflow resulting in marked upper-level divergence.
