A strong downdraft, of over 2.5 miles in diameter, that can cause damaging winds.

A downdraft, or downburst, is a column of sinking air that is capable of producing damaging straight-line winds of over 150 mph (240 km/h), similar to, but distinguishable from tornadoes.

Downburst damage will radiate from a central point as the descending column spreads out when impacting the surface, whereas tornado damage tends towards convergent damage consistent with rotating winds.
