Definition
A line storm is a type of severe weather event characterized by a long, narrow band of intense thunderstorms. It's often associated with a cold front or squall line. These storms can produce damaging winds, heavy rain, and even tornadoes. The term 'line' refers to the linear arrangement of the thunderstorms. Line storms can move rapidly across a region, causing widespread damage. They are a significant hazard to aviation and outdoor activities. Think of a line storm as a marching band of thunderstorms, moving in formation across the sky.
