Description:A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, Oklahoma on May 29, 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry field experiment. This storm produced 5 hail, an EF-1 tornado, and copious lightning over the course of a few hours within range of the Oklahoma Lightning Mapping Array and the KTLX WSR-88D radar. This study focuses on a ∼1-h interval during which a line of secondary convection formed and intensified within the anvil of the Kingfisher supercell. An analysis of radar reflectivity, radial velocity, and low-level divergence shows that the formation of the secondary convection was consistent with a previously proposed mechanism;
