Mid May ... 2024

 

A few final shots after the storm had passed....

 

A vibrant purple sky is dramatically lit up by bright lightning bolts over a wet, reflective field. The horizon is faintly visible, with small structures silhouetted against the stormy backdrop.

A towering supercell storm cloud dominates the sky, creating a dramatic scene. The sunset casts a golden glow, contrasting with the approaching wall cloud.

I had moved just a few miles to the west of Hwy 183. Just south of the I-80 Elm Creek Interchange. In case this cell did develop a tornado, I wanted quick access to the north.

 

In the perfect location for this developing cell. Forming wall cloud on the southwest part of this storm. True storm chasing eye candy!

This storm was picking up speed, and I had to stay in front of the development. Picked up the gear and headed north to I-80 then West to the I-80 Darr Nebraska Exit.

 

Stopped for just a few minutes to get my bearings on this storm. She was in reorganizing and rebuilding as it was almost moving due north now.

 

Some nice new structure was developing, and I was in the perfect place to watch it develop... oh yeah, and to take a few snaps....

First outing of 2026. This had a severe warning on it as it crested into south central Nebraska from northern Kansas. Storm died right as I got to it. This wasn't gonna let me down. Was able to get some excellent views of this storm in its dying stages.

Mid May 2026

 

We finally had our first bout of severe weather after a horrendous drought season. We welcome the rain but not the severe weather. But an actuality when severe weather approaches that's when I shine....

 

Day 2 of Severe weather events across Nebraska. My adult daughter by my side. She didn't want to miss out on this years severe weather events as her passion equals mine... She wasn't going to be disappointed this day!

 

We grabbed the gear and headed deep in Central Nebraska that afternoon. Long story short... We avoided the Chaser Convergence & planned it out perfectly.

June 2020 coming to a close. Though mother nature is just ramping up storms out here on the plains of Nebraska.

 

Another afternoon of severe weather and parts of Central and South Central Nebraska would be under the gun later that evening. Gear ready and packed we were off for another Severe Weather Adventure!

 

Though the storms we wanted to catch that afternoon decided to form and then weaken then form to our due north northwest again for the afternoon. Too far north for us to chase as they were developing and moving fast northwest.

 

Caught would we could for that afternoon and waited for the lightning fest that would be to the southeast and east of Kearney. No direct intercept this day... But mother nature was talking...

I didn't know this would be my last batch of lighting for 2017 at the time of these captures.

 

Yeah, I knew these season for storms were coming to an end. I even made several more attempts and failed before 2017 was over.

 

Fitting that I wouldn't have to travel far to have one last really good photographic night storm.

Late July in South Central Nebraska. This time of year, of course its our dry season, but we do get some photographic thunderstorm development in the early morning hours. Right before dawn, strong cells were developing... forming just south of the I-80 corridor.

 

Beautiful CC lightning covered the skies a few hours before the crack of dawn!!!

Good storm cells were developing just to my southwest around 3:00am Working... Had all my responsibilities done for the evening... Had my camera equipment in the truck from chasing that afternoon. Grabbed my camera, sandbag, and tripod and headed out to the back of the buildings.

 

Got a few good shots of the incoming shelf cloud. Wish I wasn't working. There was incredible structure further west that I could see. Can't complain though, I was at work, taking snaps of storms... I was a happy camper!

Was quite surprised to see storms develop out in the western part of Nebraska that day. The cold front had pushed into the state by early afternoon and severe storms were forming. Severe weather watches were posted for Dawson and Custer counties. Storms were moving at 10mph and I had plenty of time to catch up to them from Kearney.

 

Storm warnings for cells in western Dawson county promoted me to position myself to the south of Ansley. Found my favorite road called Box Elder and waited. Impressive Hail Core and developing shelf cloud was just to good to pass up!

Not many chase days in the month of June 2017, as this day turned out way better than expected. You never know what you might encounter on a decent moderate risk day which was mostly on the eastern side of Nebraska and Western Iowa.

 

These first cells were moving from the north to the south as I encountered them just to the east of Schuyler Nebraska. I didn't have to to travel to western Iowa as all the action stayed in eastern Nebraska that day. It was mostly an HP mess for most of the ride till then.

 

Some decent structure out in front of this cell, so you know I what I was doing!

After the tornadoes in south central Nebraska that afternoon. Storms were still percolating and still severe enough to produce what I'm looking for... That wouldn't happen again that day... Oh the structure on those severe storms were truly photogenic. Some of the best Nebraska outflow boundaries of 2018 were in my viewfinder that day.

 

I bet you folks all thought I was done with this set... I had a long drive back home that late afternoon. The sun was starting to drop. I was riding alongside the storm that I had just been chasing all afternoon. Some incredible light on the backside of this storm was just to good to pass up. Pulled over... and grabbed these final shots after the afternoon.

 

If your patient enough to wait, because it takes time. One can get some captivating perspectives after the storm... These are good examples! An excellent way to end this chase day!

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

These next 24 hours would very interesting. I was in the 100% Totality Zone for the solar eclipse the next day. So the camera was ready. Snagged it from the charger and I was off.

 

Had to work in about an hour. Of course I was waiting most of the afternoon for these storms to come closer and they eventually did...

 

A few wicked good lightning shots captured that evening!

A massive, swirling supercell storm cloud looms over a flat rural landscape, casting dramatic shadows and creating a vivid contrast against the fields below. The sky is a mix of dark gray and lighter hues near the horizon, possibly indicating an approaching storm.

August 11, 2019 on Flickr Click Here

 

On the hunt for Severe Weather after about a month off of chasing. Though, always prepared and ready to go on another storm chasing adventure, once the storm models look favorable I was off to Eastern Colorado!

 

Tornado warning had just come over about 4:20pm MDT and we were just about to intercept. We were 4 mins late to see the tornado but we did get right under the base off the storm that produced it. Strong winds and hail accompanied this as we got to the south of this rotating supercell. Up close and personal!

I had to take a few days off from that last storm... A few thousand miles of traveling just for a cloud... lol ... Now refreshed from a few days rest... Moderate Risk Day... and It was dead center in my back yard. June in Nebraska is really what I wait for each year... The most violent of storms are always this window of time.

 

A few thousand chasers, DOWs (Doppler on Wheels), and several chase teams from all over the country...all merged into a tight area for the development of strong cells for that afternoon. Which would turn into early evening before any of the action would start.

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

 

Reminiscing, I haven't spent this many times in this location in years past. Its been the 2016 hot spot for severe storms to cross over from northern Kansas into south central Nebraska in 2016. Again I was there to capture these severe weather moments.

 

Its mid August and its late season for severe storms. We are in a drought and any rain helps as we get closer to harvest time. This was a beast storm. HP all the way, and I didn't get many captures from this storm but what I did get was something special.

 

Now just east of Red Cloud Nebraska and I was eastbound on Hwy 136.

 

Paused a few moments to get the radar check and to figure out if the storm behind me was going to overtake my position before I got further to the east.

Primed and Set for a new year of Chasing Severe Weather throughout Tornado Alley. This was close to home and not a huge jaunt across several states to find those severe storms. Instead this was just really a test run for the real thing coming soon to our neck of the woods.

 

Pulse storms forming over a marginal risk area for the afternoon. First of the year in fact so the possibility of a few severe storms were not out of the question.

 

All in all... It was good to get out and dust the cobwebs off the old dslr! Some nice views from North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska that afternoon and evening!

These are truly My Best Lightning Captures to date!

 

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 Gut 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.. lol

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!

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!

This was taken just to the south of Overton Nebraska. This severe storm cell was aggressive. When I approached it was already tornado warned and it would be the start to one of the most photogenic days of 2011 for my storm photography.

 

What your viewing here is a classic example of what we call in storm chasing the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft)

 

The rear flank downdraft or RFD is a region of dry air wrapping around the back of a mesocyclone in a supercell thunderstorm. These areas of descending air are thought to be essential in the production of many supercellular tornadoes.

Late July 2023...

 

This month of storms was just down right jaw dropping. Why not continue since we didn't have any storms in May or June! Overtime for July is the way I like it!

 

90% of the time of year in South Central Nebraska is Hot & Humid. It is normally the beginning of our dry season. But not in 2023.

 

In the path of the Jet Stream that day that forced some severe thunderstorm development over south central Nebraska. We were not excepting anything super severe but a tornado or 2 is always possible this time of year.

 

Gear Primed & excited about the views I'm going to get for this event that day. I knew they were going to be photogenic.

I had several chances at storms over the month of July into Early August... I did make an several attempts... resulting in several good sunsets (I'll post these at a later time), just no good storms to capture ... until this one.

 

This would be the start to several sets of images expanding from Mid August to late September and a few chases in October.

 

10:00pm, and the rain was coming down in sheets. Radar had several cells starting to mature, and warnings were just issued for Northern Buffalo County. Can you say right place right time...

 

This Ominous Shelf Cloud had several cloud to cloud and cloud to ground shots. Lots of positive lighting in front of this cell. It was incredible hard to see since it was misting and then hard rain right before these captures!

I didn't know this would be my last batch of lighting for 2017 at the time of these captures.

 

Yeah, I knew these season for storms were coming to an end. I even made several more attempts and failed before 2017 was over.

 

Fitting that I wouldn't have to travel far to have one last really good photographic night storm.

Late July 2023...

 

My passion for Lightning never ends. It truly is the soul reason why I grab my gear & head out when others take shelter.

 

In my Opinion... this set of images is / has to list as one by best set of Lighting Captures EVER. That's saying a lot. Especially if you follow what I do.

 

Gems of Gems!!

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon / evening on Flickr Click Here

 

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...

 

As all of my cameras were pointed towards the supercell showing all that rotation. I really didn't pay attention to the storm that was coming in from the due north, until I paused to look that way.

 

2nd Storm was almost on top of my location. Luckily it was moving to the southeast & that meant I had a little time before the storm moved directly over.

 

This 2nd storm was outflow dominate. Producing this incredibly photogenic shelf cloud as it slowly crept toward the city of Kearney.

 

This storm just kept getting photographically better by the minute. I had to flip 180s for a few mins as both storms was producing some insane storm photography!

Late May ... 2024

 

Golden hues from a setting sun highlight the dramatic storm clouds as they loom over an expansive landscape. Rays of sunlight pierce through the darkening sky, casting a warm glow on the horizon.

Part of a severe weather system moving northeast out of North Central Kansas. These late afternoon Supercells developed under the perfect conditions. They were in photographic range just to the Southeast of Buffalo County. Sculptured cumulus thunderheads were way to good to pass up that afternoon.

 

Torrential heavy downpours, hail up to 1/2 dollar size and 3 confirmed tornadoes in Adams & Hall counties just to the east of Kearney Nebraska.

Due to work and play ... late August 2011. The storm season sometimes lasts here til mid October. Other years, were lucky to see anything severe after the 2nd week of September.

 

Every years is different and while I still had the chance with final August storm I grabbed my gear and stayed local as this storm was coming to me.

 

Non Severe, but this storm had it's moments to give, photographically speaking.

A Sultry Evening...

 

One my favorite things to do... Watch a ominous lighting intense storm come over the horizon. With continuous cloud to cloud lightning & a few cloud to ground strikes. This was one of those perfect photogenic Nebraska storms.

 

Severe warned right after sunset. Found an open spot to shoot just some incredible June storm photography for 2022!

Was quite surprised to see storms develop out in the western part of Nebraska that day. The cold front had pushed into the state by early afternoon and severe storms were forming. Severe weather watches were posted for Dawson and Custer counties. Storms were moving at 10mph and I had plenty of time to catch up to them from Kearney.

 

Watching the storms they were build and moving north northeast and I didn't want to enter the base of this storm, I just wanted to get along side it to get the best pics in front of the storm. I wasn't disappointed. Even though this cell just went out of the severe warning, the front of this cell was majestic and I wasn't about to leave. Camera in hand I did my thing....

 

Storm warnings we up again for cells to the west of Dawson county, so I had about a 1/2 hour before I had to head back west to get into position for the next cells.

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!

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!!!
