I have several questions about things like outflow boundaries. I have some conflicting ideas about them from what I have heard and seen in the field. My understanding is that outflow boundaries can enhance tornadic potential in storms and also can produce more storms. However, I have seen both things happen. I have seen storms blow up on outflow boundaries, but I have probably more often seen storms fall apart when hit by outflow boundaries. I can see how both these can occur. Storms hit by cold outflow will fall apart, but the boundary can cause storms to rotate. What determines whether a storm explodes or dies when hit by outflow boundaries?
