Overhang

See: extension.

A building element that shades windows, walls, and doors from direct solar radiation and protects these elements from precipitation.

Radar term indicating a region of high reflectivity at middle and upper levels above an area of weak reflectivity at low levels. (The latter area is known as a weak-echo region, or WER.) The overhang is found on the inflow side of a thunderstorm (normally the south or southeast side).
