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!

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!

 

Found and open spot just to the south of Merna Nebraska. Had the perfect view and this thunderstorm was talking!

 

Loaded all the gear out and started my thing. This truly would become one of my best photographic outings for storms in 2020. Glad I made the effort to go. In spite I just had major surgery 3 days before!

Dark, stormy clouds dominate a vast sky, casting a dramatic contrast against the lighter sky on the horizon. The scene captures a rural landscape with fields and a small structure in the foreground.

August 19, 2011 - North of Wilcox Nebraska US

This would become an epic night of light and storm! Some of my best lighting captures of 2011 are in this set!

 

A few hours later that evening storms in north central Kansas fired up again as they were pushing into south central Nebraska. @ This time with severe warnings, the lightning was firing off.

 

I was in luck! They were foretasted to move almost due norht / northeast over the next few hours and I just had to find a good location. Due to the time of year the corn here in this part of Nebraska is at its peak. 13-16 foot corn. I had to find a spot that I could see over the corn.

 

I grabbed my gear & headed south. Made my way down, via country roads, from Kearney just to the north of Wilcox Nebraska. I sat along side this storm as it produced one of the most EPIC displays of lightning for 2011. Every few seconds there was incredible cloud to ground lightning. Sometimes it would spider out (cloud to cloud) and sometimes it would just be a fork or a positive cg bolt that was out of this world.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!

 

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...

 

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.

 

Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.

 

In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

Early June 2026

 

Exactly what the title states... I felt I was jinxed that evening. Every time I got close it would die off. Nice structure, good development. But it was not to be. It happens sometimes...

 

A few good opportunities but you had to know where to look. That part I have covered. Took advantage of what was viable for this set of images.

 

A vast field stretches under a dramatic stormy sky. A faint glow at the horizon hints at an unseen bolt of lightning.

Very late in the season for tornadic supercells but we had some this day. Good Friend and fellow Chaser Myles Nelson, it was his birthday. So to celebrate we had to get a game plan on.

 

Night before there was none predicted for any severe storms, but mother nature had different plans. Waking up, and checking the morning model scans we had a much different story. We planned accordingly and things panned out for us to follow the first storms to pop to the east of Hastings Nebraska.

 

This cell packed to early punch but eventually faded out by Bruning Nebraska. Luckily the 2nd cell we had been monitoring just to the south of Hastings was maturing and had the all the right stuff. We scooted west to get into position. Then via Hwy 14, just south of Nelson Nebraska was our first TVS marker, and a scans showed a decent hail core developing. We were in luck as this storm was building and maturing fast.

 

Once this first event was on top of us, we positioned south and east of Superior Nebraska via Hwy 8 to do it again. Where we met up with several other chasers that were on the hunt. Good to see good friends again as this cell was again in a maturing stage producing come incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning.

 

Eventually we had to punch through the core via west of Superior as we again head south into Kansas via Hwy 14. East of Mankato Kansas we ran into the 3.5 inch hail core next to Formoso Kansas and we had to stay ahead of this to stay out of the core. North of Courtland Kansas the cell was on our tail and we were in the notch. Surreal cloud structure could be seen as we had pushed east.

 

West of Scandia we ended up in a Tornado Warning was it had push up right against us. A Train had blocked out route east and it got a little never racking. Though the train eventually passed an we were able to escape the worst part of the storm. Ending up just to the west of Scandia Kansas were we experienced 3 inch hail. I have a few new dents but we decided wisely not to go any further due to the rain rapped tornado in this storm. Got by a building and had some protection from the winds and hail.

 

It was the end of the video's chase day and another tale to tell in my storm chasing adventures for 2019!

On the open plains of Nebraska...

 

August was a GEM month for severe storm structure. Folks... I didn't miss a beat.

 

Pure Eye Candy this one is. Open air supercells developing right as the dry line passed over us in South Central Nebraska.

 

I wasn't going to get underneath this one though it was close. I could have chased it, but I wanted to get the structure that day. Oh I got what I came for!

 

I had planned accordingly. Knowing that the storm was going to pass as it rapidly developed to the due east. I waited for bit under the hail core before I got into position to capture this storm.

 

Building Billowing Beautiful updrafts on the back side of this storm were memorizing. Perfect Supercell structure.

It's not called the lazy days of summer for nothing... Hot, Humid, and Dry... That's August in Nebraska. Without any front to push. Late summer storms cells develop, linger and are mostly slow movers. Just like these cells on that day.

 

Had to boogie on south.....

 

One of the finest things about Nebraska is her landscapes. When I was young, I hated the open plains, now I thrive for them. Beautiful, I don't know why, but it moves me to take these captures.

 

Sitting on Hwy 183 with not a soul in sight, I had the perfect perspective.

This capture was featured on CNN Headline News on July 3, 2017

 

2017 Storm Season in south central Nebraska really hasn't been. Until this storm.

 

I wasn't feeling that good that afternoon. Had a touch of the crud, and energy level was way down. I honestly had no plans to chase storms that afternoon.

 

The storms that afternoon were moving the from east to the west. (This is RARE in Nebraska) As these storms had been brewing and raging most of the afternoon in north central Nebraska. Most of these had died and parts had reformed or backbuilded throughout late afternoon. Seen that a few of my other chaser friends from StormViewLive.com were out and streaming and these developing cells. I simply couldn't miss this....The rest is history....

 

Just off of I-80 west on to Thirty Mile Canal (Road 755) west to Junction 21 south to Ustis Nebraska. I pulled off a for a few moments to get my bearings on this storm. Perfect photo opp as this storm had warnings pop up mins before this capture.

 

I didn't have much time. I had to get ahead, or at along side of it. Just a few snaps before I headed south.

 

It simply was the best structured photographic beauty that I wait for each year. It is, in my own personal opinion, this set of images are my Best Captures of 2017.

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.

*** Remastered Series***

 

****

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..

There was rotation on the back end of this cell, you can clearly see on this base! But we never did get a nader out of this. Pure Storm Chasing Eye Candy!!!

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!

Lightning is the main reason why I chase storms. I'm fascinated by the pulses of light it produces. So by placing myself in direct line of a nasty overnight supercell... It is what I call FUN.

 

This was a spectacle of light & storm. Producing Cloud to Cloud Lightning almost every 3 seconds. It was by far the best night time lightning fest of 2023! So Far....

A nice setup for severe weather on the plains that afternoon. Moderate Risk day in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado, Western Kansas....

 

It took about 4 hours to get to the starting point, but all is worth the time I take to plan and get out to get some good severe weather action.

 

I had a choice that afternoon to follow this first cell or to wait for the next one... Without all the technical terms and jargon....I had the perfect setup for possible tornadoes that afternoon, but this storm that I choose (the 2nd cell and not this one) wasn't going to produce any till way after I quit chasing it down on the Kansas Oklahoma border. Its the chance that I take when it approaches. You NEVER know what its going to do.

 

I've been rather lucky chasing in this area over the past 20+ Years... Caught my fair share of Naders. This day didn't produce what I was looking for But Mother nature was talking I was Listening.

 

This sky was EPIC....

It is hot & humid this time of year here in Nebraska. Severe storms do come a calling in the overnight hours. Outflow dominate storm with a nicely define shelf cloud to boot!

 

Typical August Nebraska storm cell, was a slow mover at 14mph to the south southeast. Came out central Nebraska late night and decided to drop some torrential heavy rain.

 

Some late night shelf cloud fun. Dual Layer, and some ambient light from the city of Kearney made this a rather fun night storm photo opportunity.

Late afternoon early evening storms were on the back of the Low coming though south central Nebraska. This means they were traveling from the southeast and moving to the north / north west. That is not normal for us... usually west to east!

 

Severe warnings went up and were were prepped and ready. Not to far of a jaunt from home as we ended up just south of the Grand Island I-80 Exit. A few miles south to be exact.

 

August 2021 has been a gem for storm photography and videography! This was just the beginning of the month!!!!

I Seriously, wasn't going to go out this night... Had a weeks worth of hell, and I really just wanted to do was get off work and go home. I was tired, I was cranky, it was the first weekend I've had off in a Month...

 

As soon as I pulled into the driveway @home, I could hear the weather radio going off and my storm capturing sensation came over me. Listening to the bullitins coming over the radio and I Freaked!. The storms were closer than I had thought. NWS just put warnings for Northern Buffalo County for super fast development of strong to potentially super severe, with large hail, and possible Tornadoes.

 

Photography Chance of a lifetime... Even though someone could cast me as a member of the Walking Dead....I was a trooper and I didn't wimp out! Luckily I had the my camera on the charger... Grabbed all my equipment & I hauled A** North... 20 mins later I found myself in the perfect spot, under the perfect conditions!

 

Cresting over northern Buffalo County, ready to cross between Pleasanton & Ravenna Nebraska, this cell was rapidly building and already had tornado warning on it. Incredible CG lightning in front of the storm cell was just to good to capture, with lighting firing off every few seconds.

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.

 

I did a 180 turn to look at the sky from the due east. It sure looks like a small funnel but in reality its just a low hanging scud cloud.

Gotta luv severe weather when it pops close to home and I don't have to travel very far. One concern was my truck. Diagnosed with wheel bearing and axle problems. I wasn't going to go to far.

 

Right off the bat, wall cloud was forming on the back edge of this supercell. Severe warnings were up, but this storm had other plans. It just decided not to move for about 25 mins and stayed right in place.

 

Quarter sized hail and I had a few bruises to prove it! Plus we had another lone cell just to the north of this one which would eventually get eat'n up by this cell but it sure was purdy to watch!

 

No nader this day, but structure, hail, and strong winds made this a perfect day for severe weather photography and videography!

Been Waiting since March for a good storm in Nebraska... we have had some but out of my reach due to some vehicle issues. Though just recently this has changed and was able to enjoy this event!

 

The 2020 Storm Season has been stale to say the least. Though Mother Nature... She would redeem herself this day. Beautiful Severe Warned Thunderstorms, with all the extras. Surreal!

 

Decided to play it north deep into Central Nebraska that afternoon. Bad road networks and basically no cell services unless you have a booster, which I have. Models that day had it right north of Brady Nebraska then for it to develop and move north northeast. Some of the models had it a little bit further north and that was exactly why I was in the Thedford Halsey Nebraska Area to start.

 

Though when the storms fired I had a nice TVS warning on this first cell but the storms south which had merged with these storms now and sucking all the energy southward. I had to punch through the core of this first storm to get to the one developing to my due south...The main event for the afternoon.

 

Epic Nebraska Supercell Structure.... Seeing this up close and personal is what I needed! Incredible defined detail as this cell moved northeast. Directly up from the Brady Maxwell Arnold areas. A perfect viewing point out in the open just to the west of Merna Nebraska.

Almost mid July in Nebraska. This means ... Boilermaker...

 

It was 102 when I left Kearney. Hot Humid and uncomfortable. But when storms come, I'm not going to miss these special photographic opportunities. You can always count me in with camera in hand.

 

Had a moderate threat for severe weather on this day to the south and east of South Central Nebraska. Knowing this, Hwy 6 east through Hastings and then South of Clay center was battle ground for storms to develop. I was in position, but this day would be a bust as the storms would cap and no strong development came out of these storm cells.

 

I took advantage of what light & storm there was.... and went to town. Click Click Click!

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!

July 29, 2016 - North of Kearney Nebraska, US

 

Would you like to see this image without the water mark...Click Here

 

These storm cells were forming just to the north of Kearney. Northern Buffalo county, and moving due south. There was sufficient cloud to ground lightning firing off every few seconds. I drove north, right under base of the storm. There was way to much low cloud cover to get any decent pics... This was one of the pics from under the base.

 

Moved south again, to get the best photographic advantage of this storm. Sitting right on the western outskirts of Kearney, I was out of the low cloud cover, clear skies to the west with this approaching storm cell was almost to good to be true!

 

This was one of the few times I had the opportunity to capture lightning this summer. Lightning is tough to capture the way it is and I'm still learning techniques to do better. I would say these captures came out better than expected.

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!!!!

A hop skip & jump from my home here in Kearney Nebraska to this location with a wide open sky! A nicely defined thunderhead was approaching from the southwest and she was moving my way! You know me, I wouldn't miss this opportunity.

 

Gear was primed & so was I. Simply a beautiful view of this storm. A nicely defined shelf cloud to end out this series of captures!

What was an Epic day of Storm and Sky on the Eastern Plains of Colorado.

 

We had a late start to get to our destination of Goodland Kansas that afternoon. Though with that said we did see one Landspout / Tornado just to the south of Burlington Colorado. Of couse we would have luv'd to see some of the naders about 100 miles to our west but we didn't plan this one out correctly to do so.

 

Bumped into Legendary storm chaster Danial Shaw from Down Under... as he pulled up next to us shortly after we got there. I pretty sure he caught what we could see south of Burlington up close and personal.

 

Storm went outflow dominate as it squeezed its way into northwest Kansas. We ended this days chase between St. Francis and Bird City Kansas.

Every year on/in the Non Storm Season... I go back & re-edit the masters. This year I wanted to get this set done since I was way over everything... To much color, to much contrast, there were flaws in the panoramas... The orginal set can be found here on Flickr

 

I have Remastered this Series

Fixed Everything. Normal Color, no added saturation or contrast. No Extra's. You're seeing the Raw images. Slight adjustment with light but that was about it.. Also Fixed the flaws in the panoramas!...

 

**************

 

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.

 

Raced this cell and I was now in position to capture this beauty. Just a few miles north of Elm Creek on Hwy 183. This place has the best view over the valley. Worst cell phone reception ever.. even with a 4g booster I couldn't push out a signal.

4th night in a row of Severe weather in South Central Nebraska. Had a late start to this overnight adventure but I had a bust of a afternoon. I wasn't going to go away tonight empty handed.

 

Storms were forming and moving due east, had to get north of the storm as it was building. Perfect time to get some best night captures of the season!

June 3, 2014 - Kearney Nebraska US

 

It has been a slow start to severe weather season here in Nebraska 2014. June starts with Thunderstorms... Severe....

 

Were just north of Kearney that evening & they were moving directly on a eastern path. Northern Buffalo County in South Central Nebraska was the target area that evening.

 

Winds were ferocious, but it was warm & humid evening as the storm was raging just a miles due north of my location. Lightning was illuminating the night with frequent flashes within this storm.

 

Lower level lower wind clouds (scud clouds) were frequent. Was hard to watch the base of this storm with all of them blanketing the bottom of this storm.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!

 

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best photography to date...

 

Finally, after a 4 1/2 drive, I was in the severe risk, or moderate zone. @ Hwy 365 North Junction, a few miles north I pulled off to get these snaps of this developing cell that would turn into the Wray Tornado that afternoon.

 

I truly thought I had missed the game and I was feeling pretty depressed until I saw this.... This supercell already had rotation in it and I know from all the chases over the past 20 years of chasing... the last cell to develop will be the one to watch... even if there were other cells that day that were producing tornadoes.

 

We had all the right ingredients for this one to work her magic. I just had to position myself to get the best shots possible....

Approaching late May 2021 and yet to have a successful storm chase to my liking ...

 

Until Now...

 

Finally a set up on severe weather, and Mother Nature produced one heck of a show on this afternoon evening. Nice defined shelf with a good rain/hail core.

 

East of Norton Kansas or better yet Southwest of Almena Kansas we got out first real taste of what I'm always looking for this time of year... Oh and it was special.

 

Not only did we get what we wanted that afternoon we had one of the best Thunderset (Thunderstorm @ Sunset) that evening that was simply jaw dropping!

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.

It storm chasing go time this time of year. Another phenomenal day of storm chasing was upon us in South Central Nebraska.

 

We had another moderate risk day, and again, the sky was again talking to me. Best of all this was going to be a local chase day.

 

The storm cell I was chasing most of the day had weakened and the boundary for severe weather was to my west. I had to get north and east via Hwy 36. Ended up parked just south of Phillips Nebraska.

 

This new cell had warnings on it as I was approaching from the east. Now with good rotation detected on this side of the storm. Building, and getting wound up, this storm meant business.

 

I was in the perfect position to capture another severe weather photographic treat....

This Day's pressure cooker was in session. Lot's of gulf moisture to play with. With that in mind, Mother Nature had some plans for us that afternoon. Of Course, I was prepared. Knew this situation was going to give us some excellent severe weather views that afternoon. I was on the Hunt!

 

Alerts & Alarms were firing right after 2:00pm as I headed west from Kearney. Severe Thunderstorm warnings had been issued to my southwest by Arapahoe & Holdrege Nebraska. Coming directly from Furnas & Phelps Counties this storm was packing a heavy punch for October.

 

Pulled up & onto 1 of the bluffs just north of Elm Creek Nebraska. Nice view over the Platte Valley as this nasty bugger came to play! Would eventually catch 2 tornadoes this day... Which is rare. Glad I had the time to capture this event! It was a Hoot!
