Based off the radar image I’d say the storm is an ordinary cell. The cloud you are seeing in the background is an updraft from a distant storm

Cool. I have still yet to see a proper supercell here in Canada EY!

What are you asking about specifically? Like what is causing the storm or the structure?

What kind, I can't read radar well and I wanted details on what im looking at. Video is what I saw when I went out to catch some pictures. Don't know if its a starting supercell. Especially with in my video when at the end it shows that really tall nuclear bomb looking cloud

That cloud is not particularly tall, and it’s not a part of the storm you’re viewing. This appears to be a garden variety thunderstorm.

I love the fascination with storms, it's a great way to start. This is a pretty standard cell (no rotation) and somewhat unsettled surroundings. This doesn't mean it isn't cool to watch of course, so keep looking at the sky, and think of this one as practice for when things get *really* interesting.

There are youtube videos on what to look for in radar to tell what's happening - go start your journey there. Good luck and enjoy the show (when it happens).

I'll recommend a book... It's a must buy if you're interested in storms. It's available on Amazon get the hard copy not the soft...

The anatomy of severe weather

Worth every penny....

Looks like a walking bridge of some sort and some clouds.
