encourages more entrainment of the cool, dry air surrounding the cell.
Eventually downdrafts dominate throughout the cloud and initiate the
dissipating stage of a thunderstorm's life. The cooling effect of
falling precipitation and the influx of colder air aloft mark the end
of a thunderstorms activity. Without a supply of moisture, the cloud
will quickly evaporate, as photographed in these two shuttle
photographs.
