What is a Dry Microburst?

Tonight

In short, a dry microburst is an intense area of winds from a column of descending air caused by rain that evaporates before reaching the ground. This is what resulted in the 111 MPH record wind gust at Midland International Air & Space Port and snapped power poles in Odessa Tuesday evening.
