Landspouts are a type of tornado which forms during the growth
stage of a cumulus congestus cloud by stretching boundary layer vorticity upward
and into the cumulus congestus's updraft. They generally are smaller and weaker
than supercell tornadoes and do not form from a mesocyclone or pre-existing
rotation in the cloud. Because of this, landspouts are rarely detected by
Doppler weather radar.[3]
