LEWP - Line Echo Wave Pattern. A bulge in a thunderstorm line producing a wave-shaped "kink" in the line (Fig. 4). The potential for strong outflow and damaging straight-line winds increases near the bulge, which often resembles a bow echo.
LEWP"Abbreviation for line echo wave pattern.
LF"Abbreviation for low frequency. See radio frequency band.

LEWP - Line Echo Wave Pattern. A feature within a line of storms that resembles a wave with a mesolow at the crest of this feature. Often associated with multiple bowing segments within a larger squall line.

LEWP- Stands for Line Echo Wave Pattern. This is an outward bulge along a squall line that is often created from strong upper level winds intersection that segment of the squall line.
LEWP (Line Echo Wave Pattern) - a bulge in a thunderstorm line producing a wave-shaped "kink" in the line.
Surface data indicates that a small scale low pressure system, about 100 miles in diameter, probably accounted for the LEWP configuration. Supercells often form near or immediately northeast of such a low.
LINE ECHO WAVE PATTERN (LEWP) A wave-shaped bulge in a line of thunderstorms. It may often be seen as a "S"-shaped radar echo signature and is often associated with severe weather.
Intense macrobursts may cause tornado-force damage of up to F3 intensity.

Weather near the center of this bow pattern is dominated by strong and damaging outflow winds. A series of bows along a squall line is called a LINE ECHO WAVE PATTERN or LEWP. May also be called a BOW OUT.
LINE ECHO WAVE PATTERN (LEWP) A bulge in a line of thunderstorms, producing a wave-shaped in the line. It is seen as a scalloped radar echo signature and is often associated with severe weather.
