Abstract
A three-dimensional numerical storm model is used to investigate the observed splitting of several reflectivity echoes on 3 April 1964 in Oklahoma. Representative soundings from this day exhibit a nearly one-directional environmental wind shear vector and the presence of strong low-level wind shear. In the numerical simulation an initial cloud splits into two long-lived rotating storms, one that moves to the left of the mean winds and the other to the right.-from Authors
