Scientists used the Yellowstone supercomputer to develop this 3-D rendering of a major thunderstorm in July 2011 that caused flooding in Fourmile Canyon west of Boulder. The colors show conditions in the clouds, including ice particles (light blue), graupel (orange), snow (pink), rain (blue), and water (grey).
