Line echo wave pattern
From Glossary of Meteorology
line echo wave pattern
(Abbreviated LEWP.) A special configuration in a line of convective storms that indicates the presence of a low pressure area and the possibility of damaging winds and tornadoes.
In response to very strong outflow winds behind it, a portion of the line may bulge outward forming a bow echo.
