| Much of the water is due to rainfall associated with the deep convective clouds of the eyewall and with the rainbands of the outer edges of the storm. |
| It was thought that the seeding would cause supercooled water in the outer rainbands to freeze, causing the inner eyewall to collapse and thus reducing the winds. |
| Outer rainbands can organize into an outer ring of thunderstorms that slowly moves inward, which is believed to rob the primary eyewall of moisture and angular momentum. |
| In some cases the rainbands are stationary relative to the centre of the moving storm, and in other cases they seem to rotate around the centre. |
| He explained that storms and rainbands usually follow the location of the winds. |
| These bands, commonly called rainbands, spiral into the centre of the storm. |
