I had a phenomenal day of storm chasing in Nebraska on this day. A western Nebraska severe weather event, with moderate risk of tornadoes..

I was on the outer rim of this redeveloping cell. Utilizing Hwy 385 north, I was in position to capture mother nature at her finest. A newly defined outflow boundary had formed, as this storm cell was gaining strength as it pushed north by northwest.

Now set and in position to catch this severe storm. It would one of the best so far of April 2019.

South of Phillipsburg Kansas just a few miles, I have my place to stop and its on East Thunder Road... I'm Serious...

Down in the valley with open sky and a few telephone poles on the left side of the road. Overall a great place to get some wide angle views as this storm approached!

First Moderate Risk in South

Central Nebraska & North Central Kansas.

A short jaunt down the severe weather risk area that day from Kearney Nebraska. Arrived in Alma Nebraska a tad behind schedule. The storm was already tornado warned and produced a tornado southwest of Alma. Storm was raging and I wasn't in a good place. Had to core punch this storm & headed east via Hwy 136. That's were this collection of images starts.

I was east bound on Hwy 136 that skirts the border of Nebraska / Kansas. This would take me deep into the Moderate Risk for that severe weather day. Instability was visible everywhere out in front of this storm. A Mammatus Cluster with a wall cloud was right in front of me while another supercell was producing tornadoes behind my current location.

Wicked Beautiful Supercell Structure as I got up close & personal. Especially by Franklin Nebraska where I encountered my first Tornado of 2022.

East then north out of Red Cloud Nebraska. The storms were still producing severe weather but was exiting fast out of my range. End this day with a spectacular view of the backside of the storm. A huge mammatus cloud cluster to enjoy as I was heading home!

I have this uncanny knack to get to the right place at the right time when it comes to storms... This one was another spot on encounter. I decided to eyeball this storm and put away the radar and other electronics and just chase use the old way.

It had been a few weeks since any good photographic storms. We had Severe Thunderstorm warnings counties south of Phelps county (Located in South Central Nebraska) that afternoon.

I was close to this developing cell and I knew this was going to produce a nice base outflow. All the elements were in place. I got right along side as I raced this cell north.

Finally severe thunderstorms moved into South Central Nebraska for the first time this year. That was a looooong wait. Yes the rest of the state has seen its fair share of this but my home turf has seen very little in 2023. Rain Yes, Severe Weather No...

So I was prepared... Not much for severity except for the small hail the winds. We had a brief, and I mean brief wall cloud form to the north of the city.

*** Note

Due to my severe back injury in May... I've had to stay local this year in case I have issues. They have happened recently & I sure don't want to be 500 miles from home when my back decides to flare up. Things have happen recently which I have no control over. So I'm playing it safe with my health in 2023. Chasing only local storms this year.

To answer some of your PM questions of why I'm not chasing storms out of my local area. Have had to work on keeping healthy so I can go out & do what I do best.

Editors Note...

Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018

Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...

Click Here

But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **

Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

About that evening...

An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...

I was that Lucky Guy that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence..

It was the reason why I got into storm photography. It has taken years of practice to capture it without a lightning trigger. Patients is the Key. But when it happens you have to be ready. It doesn't stay around for very long.

Had the equipment locked and stocked. Knew the storm was coming and wala... It took til August 2021 to do but finally some incredibly good and wicked lightning!

It's Nebraska ... This our go time for severe weather & she didn't disappoint. This was the beginning of a 3 day severe weather event in South Central Nebraska.

Now my attention was the cell that was coming right at my location. In fact there were 2 cells. I was centered on this one in the beginning due to it had a severe warning on it. Both cells would eventually be severe warned.

Though this had some incredible photogenic storm structure. It had some minor rotation with this. It had my interest.

A late June Storm Chase with fellow chaser Myles Nelson in the Eastern Plains of Colorado. Which would eventually takes us into Kansas and back into Nebraska.

We never did catch a tornado due the RFD getting undercut. Simply meaning that it wouldn't produce just south of Yuma Colorado via Hwy 59. Once the storm became outflow dominate it was picture perfect. We had made several stops on Hwy 36 Eastbound. Beautiful structure close to Kirk Colorado and south of Wray. Pure Storm chasing eye candy!!!

Once we got into Kansas by St. Francis and Bird City we were loosing light fast but the it was picture perfect for viewing this incredible storm cell.

We had a long drive back after the last light of the day and this storm was to intensify. It did, making our trip back a little more interesting than expected. This part is not on video, but we became the hunted as this storm really intensified. There was so much lighting being fired off we could see for miles and miles as the storm was picking up steam and moving to the northeast. Relentlessly following us on our heals ever inch of the way back we were getting concerned about out safely. Once we turned east via Hwy 89 back into the southwest portion of Nebraska, we came face to face with a Tornado on the ground close to Wilsonville and another possible one north of Beaver City. That was not in the plan for that evening and it definitely got our attention.

Hail core was right on top of my location. Big stones this time with over quarter sized hail. Already broke my windshield this day in 2 places... didn't want a 3rd. Had to pack up my gear and headed south to Benkelman Nebraska.

This severe warned storm cell was moving almost due south. I had positioned myself again in front of the advancing outflow.

There is something special about the landscape in southwest Nebraska. More wheat fields than corn. It was surreal. Especially with this incredible structure on this storm.

I really enjoyed the photographic opportunities this day....Some of my best storm chasing photography for 2016! Enjoy!

060210 - Storms were a Brewin by NebraskaSC

June 1, 2010 - Kearney Nebraska, US

Storms lingering from the night before were still causing some severe weather in and around our area in South Central Nebraska that early June morning. Nothing severe in Kearney though... it was off to the west of Grand Island and it only prompted a severe weather warning for about 45 mins as it moved east and out of the area.

SPC had us pegged that day for severe weather to erupt that early afternoon. Though when the action did begin, it was to southeast of us. Mostly the Red Cloud to Superior areas and to the east. At this time it was out of my range due to the unworthiness of my vehicle to get me there and back.

So I had no choice to stay local and the storms didn't fire any where close to use. We did have storms but just not severe.

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!

Severe Warnings popped up for this lone cell by Oconto Nebraska with a nice TVS marker just south of the city. It was my calling to get my gear together and make a small jaunt north on Hwy 2 from Kearney Nebraska. This storm was to be in the Miller Nebraska (northwest of Kearney) area within the hour and I wasn't going to miss this show when its this close to home.

No other chasers on this storm and it was just this lone thunderstorm and me! Beautiful LP structure with clearly visible rotation on this storms' time lapse. Couldn't have asked for a better landscape setup with the pure flatness of northern part of South Central Nebraska.

Storm died out as this storm cell scooted almost directly due east it still had some luster left in her and she was showing off. Beautiful billowing thunderheads to end this chase day!

Though after the past few years of flooding and other severe weather events. It is good to have a break from all of what mother nature has dished out to us here in the central plains of the US.

I haven't posted any new video for awhile so I thought it was time to pull out the 4k and get some practice in before our severe weather season starts... eventually. Dying thunderstorms, non severe were passing over, giving us some much needed spring moisture.

Oh the sky was talking and I couldn't resist getting this sunset. Another small set of photographic captures of this Nebraska Thunderset.

Storm Chasing Video from that Afternoon on Flickr Click Here

Working on Spring projects with the wife. Enjoying our day together. Plans were made & I had no plans for chasing any storms even if they form.

Honestly, My time with family succeeds any other activity. I knew there were storms to the south of us this day. But again it was family time. I didn't even look on radar.

Finished our projects & went out to the front of the house and my jaw dropped!!! Literally in front of me this incredible updraft on a NON-severe warned storm. This had no warning on it, and I was dumbfounded. Asked... Wife said go get'm Tiger... Rest is History.

Storm Chasing is not always about catching a Tornado. This storm cell was already in its dying stages... Finished off this afternoon with some up close and personal shots of this dying thunderstorm!

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.

Even though I did pull ahead of this storm, she caught right back up to my location within minutes. I had recorded outflow gust @ 47mph on this cell as I was leaving my last location...

She meant business alright.. this cell now was Tornado Warned and I was not in position to get the Nader....

Again now eastbound Hwy 36 close to or just passing the Republican River.... Had to get back in front of this If I was going to catch anything photographic value this day.

I was concentrating on driving, and not taking pics... put this on my camera mount on my window... snap snap snap...

May 23, 2010 - Kearney Nebraska

This was really the first batch of storms that I would call treat. A photographic atmosphere that I just couldn't resist. Parked up on a hill just to the west of the city to get some of these captures of the sunset and storm.

Storm was due west of my location about 15 miles. It was severe warned but it was moving almost due south. I sat on the outskirts of this storm to try to get the best possible captures.

Hot, Humid, just the way I like it. Developing pulse storms to our northwest that late evening. Its what brought me out and about.

Again these Nebraska Skies were talking. What I thought would be a normal beautiful billowing cloud Nebraska sunset, turned out to be a majestic night of light, mammatus, and shadow.

True Nebraska Stormscape Eye Candy! Enjoy!!!

Recovered from that old drive, I honestly thought I would never see these images ever again.

Early June.... conditions this time of year are prime for night storms. Didn't have to chase... just wake up...

It was just plain luck that I got these captures at all that night.

Ever have one of those VERY LONG DAYs... I had crashed out on the couch and about 12:30 am and my son strolled in and woke me up and said... DAD storms a brewin to the west. Sure enough... Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Southern Buffalo County with an incredible cloud to ground lightning display.

We both jumped in the Truck and went out a few blocks west outside of the city lights... We only got only a few shots as the lightning was abnormally severe.. The type that has a huge crack when it strikes. Every bolt that you see had an individual unique sound a few seconds after it has stuck.

Incredible strong positive lightning strikes.

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!

*** PERSONAL NOTE***

I travel a lot of roads LESS TRAVELED than most in Nebraska due to what I do. After the Lexington Nebraska event.. I had to shoot back a few miles due my proximity to the storm.

As I traveled west then south from Overton Nebraska .. Via Nebraska Road "748" heading west. My normal spot was taken due to harvesting from the farmers. Cows were in my favorite spot. So a drove a few miles to the west. I had been by here about 1000+ times but never realized there there was an historical marker here.

So unknowingly, as I pulled into this little area with no power-lines I found a new place to take snaps but it has some historical value. Thought I would add this link for those of you that are curious about this Famous Nebraska Historical Marker.

Editors Note...

Once a year a pull out a few sets from years past to start of the new year. In 2024 this year I have went back & revamped one of my favorite severe storms photo shoots of 2018

Back then I over colorized & over saturated the images. Pixelated & not my best work... Images were what I wanted but not the final product. If you want to see those to compare to these remastered images... here is your Flickr Link to that set of images...

Click Here

But these are Gems of Gems.. I've even added about 50+ images in this set that I wasn't able to work on back in 2018. I even made a video with the old images to kick off the 2023 season... You can watch this right here on Flickr... Click Here ** Please remember I used the old images in this video **

Lightning is my forte... It is why I chase storms. To have an photo opportunity come up like this & traveled only 6 blocks from my home to get these pics...Gotta Luv Nebraska!

About that evening...

An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...

I was that Lucky Guy that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence..

Hwy 2 Bound Northwest...

Boiling afternoon temps... was a relief when the the cloud cover finally covered the sun that afternoon. From about 103 to 85 was a welcomed relief. I would be in the thick of it soon.

This monstrous storm system was creeping in from the northwest. As I got closer, or as it approached... it was from horizon to horizon. Beautiful crepuscular rays from the frontal outskirts of this incredible storm presented a wicked good view.

Solo Chase Day & Close to Home....

Luv it when the chases are in my backyard. Not having to drive 3 states and 1200 miles in 1 day is relief. I know I'm not the only chaser that says that. This was a phenomenal afternoon of severe weather. When I say this... It means that its photogenic & for the most part not effecting the farms, agriculture, livestock & the human element.

Mammatus before the storm, then I decided to bail on this first storm for the next which was to the north about 25 miles. This storm had wicked good rotation under the base. Even though it was high based it was producing some freakin awesome views.

The storm had overtaken my position and I had a 40 min drive to get back in front of this storm. It was on my tail the whole way back to the I-80 corridor. Though a little late I was still able to get back in front of shelf cloud. The teeth on the outflow were almost scraping the ground. It gave the effect of a funnel but it was not. Been doing this to long to make sure I know the difference.

That was a hoot. Though I waited til the last minute. I got swallowed by the core & had to wait it out. Want to see what its like out in the open with no shelter... This I have also done a billion times. 50mph winds rocked my truck! That was fun!

Finally, I blazed it backed to Kearney for this Storms Finale... Beautiful Sunset light illuminates the exiting storm with a Anvil Rain & Mammatus Cluster ... It was truly a Sight to See!!!!
