  "definition": "[Slang], a particular type of inflow band with a relatively broad, flat appearance\nsuggestive of a beaver's tail. It is attached to a supercell's general updraft and is oriented roughly parallel to\nthe pseudo-warm front, i.e., usually east to west or southeast to northwest. As with any inflow band, cloud\nelements move toward the updraft, i.e., toward the west or northwest. Its size and shape change as the\nstrength of the inflow changes. See also inflow stinger.",
