After a phenomenal day of watching the Supercell Thunderheads bubble and boil... I wasn't finished.

 

Small cells were still forming to my north just off of the city limits of Kearney. This one didn't last long but it sure was capturing my interest. Camera gear ready, I head out once again for a few brief shots. Full moon and some incredible ambient light helped out these shot with exposure.

I had a choice that day to either follow these cells to the east or go after the newly developing cells to the south southwest. I'm glad I chose south...

 

A fast moving rare Nebraska Roll Cloud was fast approaching my area south of Blue Hill Nebraska.

NWS had the severe weather events for that day were to be about 200 miles to the east of south central Nebraska. Though we still had a risk of severe weather, but with the 100 Temps and lots of moisture to work with... it was bound to happen.

 

We had to pull east due to the hail core was right behind us. Didn't take long for it to catch up either. Now past Guide Rock interchange on Hwy 136 East we stopped again to reassess the storms movement and our location. The storm was starting to weaken and loose its hook, but it was still worth time to get these snaps!

 

This was simply the best structured cell that I have caught up this season for tornadic activity. This cell did not produce a tornado, but it had rotation, hail, and torrential rain. Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in mind....

This thunderstorm was becoming more defined as it strengthened.

 

National Weather Service had a severe warning on this cell as it was slowly moving to the east northeast. As we were east of Minden Nebraska and were finally able to pull out ahead of this cell.

 

We paused for a few minutes to absorb the moment!

Wasn't looking forward to the 3 hour drive back home. What was left of the storm was a HP mess. I sat back for about 30 minutes and let the rain push east. After I got my bearings, I was headed east.

 

Sun was setting. I was under the perfect light conditions. Back side of the storm, via Hwy 6/34. I couldn't have asked a better photographic opportunity.

Mid May 2026

 

At the time of these images we normally are in the thick of our severe weather season. But 2026 has been active but not here in south central Nebraska.

 

We need the rain so I can't complain. This was the first of many to come of severe weather events. Wind & small hail accompanied this storm cell as it passed through.

 

Dark, dramatic mammatus clouds hang heavily over an expansive, flat field. The contrast between the ominous sky and the open landscape creates a striking visual effect.

Not officially a storm chase, this severe thunderstorm scooted just to the west of Elm Creek Nebraska. I couldn't resist!

 

It has been a rather long wait cycle for storms here in South Central Nebraska. Most of all of the action has been around us but never close enough for my ability to chase them this year. So you can about imagine when this was coming close that I wouldn't miss this opportunity.

 

Its the first true firing of storms here in south central Nebraska and that means the season has finally started. Can't wait for the next events which will be this coming week!

Southwest of of Overton Nebraska...

 

This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.

 

Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!

 

One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!

 

Surreal!

Epic

Awesome!

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.

 

Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.

 

Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.

 

It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

Finally a good chase day I can brag about....

 

A moderate risk day in South Central Nebraska, with storm forming on the western side of Dawson County & counties due south and southwest.

 

The first batch of storms were over and the severe warnings now were all pushing north northeast. I pushed down to Overton & the I-80 Interchange as strong new cells were developing to my southwest.

 

Now for the best part of the day for myself. I have passion for shelf clouds, more than any other cloud type, yes even more than tornadoes. I punched my ticket and had a great seat for the show!

 

This supercell meant business with 60 mph outflow winds, hail, and torrential rain... I was prepared!

Non Severe late August Nebraska Thunderstorms!

 

Conditions were just right, almost perfect for capturing some incredible CG Nebraska Lightning. These very slow moving storm cells building just to west northwest of Kearney provided this opportunity that early morning.

It was my last hurrah for 2017.

 

Equipment packed and ready to rock and roll. High expectations from this late season storm scenario. Today's storms would be tornadic but I wouldn't get that lucky shot. But I did have a good day. Some incredible photographic storm sets to end the year. Drive time was From Kearney Nebraska west to Hwy 283. South of Lexington Nebraska to were the storm were starting to fire.

 

Building and billowing just to my south and I was trying to get into position for these first set of storm cells.

Early September 2023...

 

Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.

 

No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.

 

I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!

Early August 2023...

 

Storms were predicted & delivered right after midnight. Severe Warned for high winds & hail... This was a sculptured outflow dominate storm. I learned a long time ago doing night storm photography that you have some extra light to make this happen. Not the light from the storm but I use the city lights to help paint the sky.

 

Sitting now on the so called edge of the city (always expanding). One the few last places I can get good clear view of the sky to the west without power-lines... Probably the last year I can take snaps from this location since there is construction going on all around.

 

I forgot one of my nice 4k cams with extra sensitivity for night... Figures I had everything ready but forgot to load the battery.

Cam in hand I went to town with this set of images with this most impressive ominous overnight shelf cloud. This was an Night Time Eye Candy Storm. What a beauty!

Moderate Risk threat that afternoon as the storm began to fire about 5pm CDT in south central Nebraska.

 

We had planned it out perfectly. Just out in front of these cells before the NWS threw a warning on this supercell. We didn't have much time though as it was producing golf ball sized hail just to the west of our location.

South Central Nebraska, early May 2012. No chasing this day due to work late. Afternoon Storms were predicted that afternoon & evening. Slow movers they were to be.

 

Off work & I was in luck. The dryline had stalled right over south central Nebraska that afternoon & the explosion of billowing thunderheads erupted. Billowing picturesque Thunderheads. Some of the most photogenic cells I caught in 2012.

 

Wicked Photogenic Severe Storms developing just to my east and & another batch of developing severe storms right over my head & moving the northeast. What a afternoon of Light & Severe Storms... Click Click Click!!!!

Early August storm cells are usually non severe and with little to no precip. Though the dry air creates some of the best photographic scenarios you could ask for if you love clouds... especially storms in Nebraska.

 

I had the afternoon off and was ready for that afternoons chase. Camera in hand, and storms moving into northern Buffalo County from the northwest...I was ready to catch some incredible storm captures.

 

August has always been my month to capture some of my best pics. This set of captures was just the first of many to come!

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...

 

Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.

 

I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells this day. The first encounter was north of Franklin Nebraska. Was right along side this beast via Nebraska Hwy 136 & Hwy 10. Storm was cresting to the northeast & I had the perfect view...

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.

 

For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

Mid October... 2023

 

Final Chase Day at hand for 2023....

 

Warm and with SPC Active warnings that afternoon of severe weather. Stayed in the South Central Nebraska Hwy 6 Neighborhood.

 

Some wicked good, or should I say fantastic views of the out waves of moisture to mix in with spookiness of October. Late season supercells along the dryline were forming & I had to get underneath! You know for the view that are contained within! Oh I got my share that day.

 

Not to spoil the fun... No Tornado that day.. or at least I didn't see it. Came over the 2 way that the was one on the ground exactly where my cameras was pointed... however bad positing on my part. If it was there I didn't physically see it. It doesn't mean it wasn't there...

 

The active warning for the Tornado didn't fire off on my alarm till I was already due east of Minden Nebraska. Didn't have the best plan for attack here. I knew it was coming but where I deiced to park wasn't the best viewing position. When that alarm goes off & didn't have the best road network to navigate though the city or around the city of Minden. So I decide to stay put since it was already heading my way.

 

Sometimes this is a good decision, that day it wasn't. I had played this day out a little to shy & got caught with just an outflow dominate storm that afternoon after the Tornado Warning.

 

It was a Fun way to end the 2023 Chase Season... Can't Wait for 2024!

A powerful shelf cloud forms a dense band of clouds, sweeping over a flat expanse of farmland. The contrasting colors create a dramatic and intense atmosphere.

Rare for Nebraska in November that is....

 

There was some risk of severe weather that afternoon. In fact.... way out of season severe weather. There was just enough instability by afternoon to allow the thunderstorms to develop, strengthen, and even spin up a few tornadoes in the 4-5 p.m. CST time frame.

 

I had a 5 hour drive back from Missouri and was exhausted. Plus I had to work in a few hours so chasing this storm was just not possible that afternoon. But I did venture out to capture a few snaps of that afternoons events.

 

Pictured here were the cells effecting the Red Cloud to Clay Center Nebraska areas. I was just to the south of the I-80 Minden Interchange. Found a cozy spot without any powerlines and pointed my camera to the east southeast.

 

Some amazing captures to finalize my severe weather photography for 2016

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.

 

Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.

 

Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Sat about 7 miles to the southwest of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.

 

It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...

 

Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.

 

I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells that afternoon.... This was Supercell #2!!!

 

Was just east of Wilcox & the dirt roads hadn't been rained on yet. (I usually don't travel them anymore if they are) to watch this 2nd Supercell develop.

 

This is where most say I'm just simply down right nuts.... I had to get closer.

 

I've done this so many times I don't get nervous at all. Simply stating. I know what is safe & what is not. If you want the good pics / video. You gotta get into the action... but do is safely. Again Storm chasing isn't for everyone. But for me its what I do best!

Oh Yeah... Lightning Storm that evening... It came in late, and I had gear packed and ready in case a storm started to brew. Only a 30% chance but that means its gonna storm in Nebraska.

 

NWS had just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Phelps & Kearney Nebraska Counties and it was moving right in my direction. I had time to get into position and wait for the show to begin! I ALWAYS have front row tickets to this type of show!

I rarely take pictures of the sunset, but when mother nature presents herself with a rare opportunity, I don't ever miss a beat.

 

This mid September sunset had some phenomenal color. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity!

It was to good to be true, but right after sunset a secondary small non severe thunderstorm started to brew just to the southwest of Kearney.

 

Even though I just had a spectacular afternoon of some incredible stormscapes, I was in for a treat this night. An electrified thriller, one storm that I wont soon forget.

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .

 

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.

 

I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

On the Last Stormchase of the Summer. I had to make this one count. First chase in my new truck. I couldn't have asked for a better Nebraska Stormscape Scenario!

 

North of Ansley Nebraska heading towards Broken Bow. Some beautiful crepuscular rays popping out of the first storm starting to build along the advancing cold front.

Humid and the mosquitoes were eating me alive...

 

I wouldn't have to chase this evening to catch some incredible Nebraska views of this supercell that formed just to the north of Hastings Nebraska. The perfect sunlight cresting against this storm cell was perfect in every way. I knew I was in for a treat. Just a few blocks from home I set up shop!

 

We had a dying cell to our west creating a beautiful sunset and I would eventually get a few snaps of this. Though was pointing due east from my location on the outskirts of Kearney Nebraska. It had all of my attention. 4 Cameras in position for this event. Pointing due east I was watching these billowing thunderheads on the updraft and it was a sight to see.

 

I also knew then that this was going to produce come incredible lighting after dark. I was prepared and ready!

Now your gonna think I'm absolutely out of my mind... but I drove into that first cell to get to this one... In storm chaser terms is called punching the core... I was more than safe. The cell had been downgraded. Yes I went through some hail and torrential rain.. but that's what I do & I do it safely. When there is a will there is a way.

 

The storm was dying and I had to get into position for this next incredible cell moving out of northern Buffalo County.

 

Now I've caught some incredible lightning this year.. so instead of say it was my best.... It was simply JAW DROPPING FREAKING INCREDIBLE AWESOME DELICIOUS lightning.

Met up with other fellow local chasers. We all had a good day of views from this storm. It was still severe warned as it moved into the counties to our northeast.

 

We had almost called it day as the storm was rapidly moving to the north, northeast. Finial light of the day was emerging... Sunset with peak lightning effect. Were were in for a treat.

Spring is in the Nebraska Air!!!

 

I didn't have to wait very long for my first storm opportunity. Though this was not a severe storm and it was only one cell.

 

We had briefings from the weather service about possible non severe thunderstorms for that afternoon. I have been wanting to get out to get some cloud action and I wasn't going to get disappointed.

 

I know what I'm looking for when it comes to storm cloud structure. This was a good way to start off the year. Close to home and it couldn't have been more photogenic!
