A splitting storm is a term used to describe a thunderstorm that splits into two separate storms with divergent paths. One storm is referred to as the left mover, and one is referred to as the right mover. The left mover is more likely to weaken and dissipate, but on rare occasions will intensify into a very severe and anticyclonically (clockwise) rotating supercell thunderstorm. The right moving storm has the highest potential of becoming a severe thunderstorm or a supercell.
