The Lakin Mothership: Classic Kansas Supercell Structure
A classically sculpted "mothership" supercell looms over a highway near Lakin, Kansas, May 21, 2020. The storm was one of several highly photogenic supercells that developed along a stalled boundary in southwest Kansas, fueled by strong upslope flow and rich moisture return from a surface low in Colorado. Known for its dramatic "stacked plate" striations, the storm moved through Kearny County during the evening hours, producing significant hail and vivid lightning as it transitioned across the High Plains.
