Gustnado

A gustnado is a term used to describe a type of weather phenomenon associated with thunderstorms, specifically a shallow, rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm. Unlike a tornado, which is a more organized and stronger rotating column of air that reaches from the clouds down to the ground, a gustnado typically forms at the outflow boundary of a storm, where cool air from a thunderstorm downdraft interacts with warm surface air.
