On Kontakt 24 we received a photo showing a squall embankment. “It looks beautiful, but the effects of such a storm can be severe,” wrote Reporter 24.
A squall ridge is formed at the front edge of a storm zone as a result of the clash of two different air masses. Its occurrence is preceded by a gusty and violent wind called a squall. In the region of appearance of this type of cloud, there is also usually heavy rainfall.
