Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-001539

Line Echo Wave Pattern. A bulge in a thunderstorm line producing a wave-shaped "kink" in the
line. The potential for strong outflow and damaging straight-line winds increases near the bulge,
which often resembles a bow echo. Severe weather potential also is increased with storms near the crest of
a LEWP.
