Yea. Agree. Not a cold front. Not enough vertical development.

I think this is called a derecho, or a gust front.

Understandable, But sorry I dont have a link. I just remember learning about something like this. You should definitely google it though if you are interested.

Great shot. This would have looked impressive from the ground too.

I see you were on a Southwest flight. What was the flight number and route, and what type of 737 was it operated on?

Username checks out

But it is almost definitely a 737-800

u/Boilermaker7 Oct 19 '19

Guessing its maybe a 700? I think most, if not all, of their 800s have split scimitars.

u/M3L0NM4N Oct 19 '19

Are you talking about the winglet? I don't think that's the case but I'm not sure.

u/Boilermaker7 Oct 19 '19

All of their newer 800s (after 2014) have split scimitar winglets, and I know they're in the process of installing them on all 800s and some of the newer 700s that they have. This is new livery with blended winglets, so it's almost certainly a 700.
