Mushroom cloud

A large isolated supercell thunderstorm depicted as a massive, highly organized rotating cumulonimbus cloud. The storm features a tall sculpted updraft tower with layered, rounded cauliflower-like billows rising into a broad flat to slightly flared anvil top that spreads strongly to one side. Upper portions are bright white to light gray, contrasting with a broad dark gray to blue-gray lower storm base. Beneath the main updraft is a broad rain-free base with a distinct rounded wall-cloud-like lowering and a rotating-looking updraft region. A dark rain core may descend from one side. The overall structure should appear asymmetric, ominous, strongly vertically developed, slightly tilted, and more organized than an ordinary cumulonimbus, suitable either as simplified scientific clipart or a realistic cloud illustration.
