QSL, okay I thought you were talking about it or graphically where you meant like an or graphic rain shadow right where you have the downwind side of a mountain so the side that's lined it's not facing the wind that area tends to be dry and you'll see less trees or simply dry areas on the mountain. Yeah so interestingly enough you know what speaking of rain shadows I've seen I've seen some fantastic phenomenon like that where yeah you could you get a hard edge sometimes on country roads or any road for that matter you can see the the transition point from dry road to very wet road is literally a meter right that's the fade that's the area where transition so that's three feet and sometimes if you have a cumulonimbus cloud or or any cloud is precipitating on a hot day some sort of a towering cumulonimbus cloud is producing precipitation if there's no real wind so there's nothing to mix it up it's a it's a relatively calm day as the downdraft forms and this glob of rain starts coming out of the cloud you'll have for these little vortices almost like a downdraft but it's not or downverse but it's not a downverse the the vortices that form on the edge of this glob of cooler air and moisture coming out of the storm they'll actually draw air in you'll get a very defined rain edge so the rain shaft that's falling will be quite defined and that'll sometimes add to it other times it's a very weak the rain shaft is quite weak and slow and it'll actually sort of get sheared off in a way that it becomes quite linear in nature so you have these long delineated areas of sea rain and then on the other side you don't see anything so yeah you can get some very interesting events
