A landspout is a type of tornado that typically forms in a convective environment, often associated with non-supercell thunderstorms. Unlike typical tornadoes that develop from supercell storms, landspouts can form under weaker storm conditions and are usually less intense. Landspouts are characterized by a narrow, rope-like appearance and can form quickly, sometimes with little warning, as a result of localized wind shear and updrafts within a developing storm.
