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!!!!

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!!!

A 4 1/2 hour drive from Nebraska to Northwest Missouri. Picked up my big sis and we were off to Storm Chase that afternoon in Southwest Iowa with a Moderate Risk of Severe Weather.

 

Lots of action that afternoon, but all of the tornadic parts of these storms were to stay south in Arkansas. Didn't stop us at all that day. I was on the hunt, and we were in for some good severe weather treats that afternoon.

 

Still nothing of any severity, though we had warning on the cells just to the south of my location. The cells that we were following proceeded north at a fast pace. Unable to keep up or pace with them we decided to wait for the next cells to cycle and build to our southeast. We were in luck as we were under the next cells that had went severe...

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...

 

This cell was really taking good shape. It was tightening with visible rotation. Plus with both storms now centering in on my location, I had to either get packed up and move to another location farther south or stay here just take in the show.

 

The road network isn't the best for making fast moves south due to the Interstate & Platte River less than 3 miles to my south. Next exit was about 4 miles to my west & that would have put be right under this storm.

 

The finial decision was easy. I was already set up & was going to stay the course til it forced me to leave.

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!

A few hours before I had to work. Just enough time to get a few captures of this incoming severe warned thunderstorm.

 

I didn't have the best light, and these captures didn't come out the way I wanted. But I'm going to post a few anyways.

 

It was after sunset and night was cresting in. This severe storm was developing out in western Nebraska had moved into eastern Dawson County, and was now building strength and was entering western Buffalo county.

 

This storm had some incredible defined outflow. A sweet late May Nebraska shelf cloud.

The sun had set, and this cell was loosing some of her steam from that afternoon. However, she tightened and circulation now was evident again. Still had a severe warning on her so I had to stay aware since I had positioned myself almost right under the base.

 

CG lightning strikes every few seconds was illuminating the sky giving that rich purple flavor. I was safe, but in a dangerous place. Lucky I caught what I caught since she meant business.

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....

Dark, looming clouds stretch across the sky, over the countryside. The contrast between the ominous sky and the vibrant green of the fields creates a dramatic tension. A lone red barn in the distance adds a splash of color, drawing the eye across the scene.

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....

Our first true storm chase outing for 2021. Slight Risk was issued for North Central Kansas and eastern South Central Nebraska. It would be expanded after 4pm. We thought we would be in business due to the dry-line was firing off some incredible thunderstorms to our north and to our south. We had pinpointed the dead center of the risk area that is exactly where we ended up...

 

Crazy thing... it was the Exact Middle of the United States of America... I'm not kidding! We stayed in this area and waited for the storm to fire. We did get what we came for but none of the storms in North Central Kansas went severe that afternoon. They did about 3 hours after we left... figures right...

 

There will be more storms..

Early season storms here in Nebraska are simply surreal. The epic beauty that surpasses the sunset's ability to crest its light against the ominous position of this storm that evening.

 

Sunset cresting into twilight with a huge anvil (Cumulonimbus Incus) approaching from the northwest into South Central Nebraska.

 

I had way over colorized saturated other things to this original set of images. So I went back & took the raw images back to their original color templates & remastered them back to the original color specs of the origin image.

 

I only had a few of these published when I posted them back in 2017. Here is the entire set reworked!

Taken just days after I had smashed my Nikon D50. Strong Gust front took out best camera. Another night storm with outflow came a calling. Even with a sand bag attached to the tripod it still blew it straight over. I was only about a foot away but the wind when the storm hit was nasty bad and I wasn't able to make a saving grab.

 

So this set of images were taken with 5mp LG phone that I simply hated. I had no other means of taking pics. Weird how this set of images would become one of my most viewed here on Flickr.

 

Now for the rest of the story....

 

Seriously, I wasn't even going to chase that afternoon. I was bummed out about my camera and lens. Now in a few unfix able pieces. My daughter Alyssa & I were heading over to good friends to BBQ, and have some Fresh Nebraska Sweet Corn & other yummies...

 

Just leaving my pad, we had looked out to the Northwest, and my jaw about dropped. It was still 20+ Miles away, I just knew she was coming our way... due to radar and warnings out for western counties... but the outskirts of city limits the clouds told the tale... She was going to be a photographic beauty.

 

My Daughter was hungry for the BBQ but she also wanted to see this storm up close and personal. I gave her a choice... BBQ or Storm.....she wanted to see the storm and we were off to our storm adventure! It was one of the best photographic shelf clouds of 2011! Glad we were there to capture this!

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!!!!

Late June 2017 in south central Nebraska. Its been a few weeks since we had any photogenic storms of any type.

 

These building cumulus clouds were developing just to the east of Kearney. I was just happy to see some development. A few shots to from that afternoon, early evening.

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.

This was my first opportunity to catch this frivolous night of electrical delights! (I've caught many more in 2023)

 

Yeah, I've caught some lightning earlier in 2023, but I actually dedicate time specifically for lighting. This was one of those nights. In fact the first one of 2023.

6th Year in a row we have had a severe thunderstorm pop in south central Nebraska late evening on the 4th of July. Thousands of strikes and the cloud to cloud lightning was simply breathtaking.

 

This storm crested right south of the I-80 Nebraska corridor, which is just south of Kearney. It was stationary for about an hour and then it pushed a little east before it grew and slowly moved to the southeast into North Central Kansas.

Had the afternoon off from work, though these cells were about 100 miles to the northwest and I wasn't chasing that afternoon.

 

Everything was pushing to the east northeast and they were putting on a decent display of a mid summer Nebraska Thunderstorm.

 

Grabbed my cam and went out to take a few snaps before they moved out of the area!

Sitting on the side of a supercell at sunset in Nebraska! What I was about to witness was going to be epic! True Thunderstorm Eye Candy! Tons of ambient cloud to cloud lightning! Erupting over the spacious Nebraska Skyline..

 

Front row tickets to the show and this was going to be a double creature feature!

Watch the Video from that evenings final pics of Sunset & Mammatus Clouds from August 13, 2019 on Flickr Click Here

 

We had a long drive back to home! Behind the storm that afternoon was a full lit sky of mammatus cloud. We had to wait for the sun to peek out behind the clouds but that is when the real magic happened. The sky at dusk was simply epic!

 

An experienced... storm chaser knows that after the storm is one of the most photogenic parts of the storm. Some of the best shots I've ever taken have been on the backside of a thunderstorm. I call them Thundersets!

 

Now...if your not a storm chaser and one is patient enough to wait for the base of the storm to move with the limits of the sunset light. Special things can happen, have your camera ready there is always some magic happening!

 

This was that experience. There is no place like Nebraska!

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

Late August and I wasn't chasing this day... In fact I was preparing to head out to the east coast to catch up with Hurricane Dorian.

 

Just few blocks from my home here in Kearney Nebraska with no warnings issued this was creaping in from the west northwest. This thunderstorm didn't become severe until it passed over the city of Kearney. But as it approached... the sky was talking and I was listening...

 

I couldn't resist! With camera in hand I was out to capture a few hundred pics of what was in front of me. A wicked good photographic Nebraska stormscapes and some epic Nebraska Thunderheads!

2023 sure has had a strange weather pattern. Almost a whole month late to our severe weather season here in south central Nebraska. Little would I know that coming weeks I will find what I've been seeking...

 

This was the first severe storm with a warning to come into play. In actuality there were 2 storms. This first storm was really defined & had some good visual rotation. The storm behind it with the intense hail core would steal all of this first storm's energy....

 

Supercell in play... what an epic view this storm had to offer!!!

What an epic day turned to and outstanding night...

 

I had an early rise to April 6, 2019 as I spent my day at the 2019 UNL (University of Nebraska) @ Lincoln Severe Weather Symposium. Met some incredible people as a few thousand people came by our booth for StormViewLive and SVLMedia.

 

We were to have storms pop south of Lincoln after the event but non of them went severe. The HRRR map models had promise but I decided to head back to Kearney for the night event.

 

Though I was beet and extremely tired I went out for a few hours and stuck close to home. I should have traveled south down the Nebraska Kansas Border, due to the severity of the storm but it was much later in the night and I had to get some sleep.

 

I did capture a few nice shots as some of the storms did produce some nice lightning right over the city of Kearney.

June was a tough month... Not only did I have my transmission go out on the truck. Their would be NO storm chasing for about 3 weeks. Of course its June and we did have few good storms pass though and I was disappointed that we couldn't go get em all.

 

Back in the saddle for this last June storm. Nice for almost end of season development. Under the base this storm no tornado was going to form due to it being undercut. Nice rotation in this cell though, and it was what we came for.

Day 2 of chasing the plains of Wyoming. With a good chance of seeing what we came for. We had plans in place to be in position early to catch that's days first round of severe storms in Central Wyoming.

 

Moving west via Hwy 26 through Torrington, Lingle, Fort Laramie, Guernsey, then north on I-25 to Glendo where we would stop to watch the scudnado form and not produce.

 

Packed the gear up after this event and moved south to be ahead of part 2 of that afternoon and evenings cells that were to develop shortly after this first event.

 

After the jaunt south to Pine Bluff Wyoming we headed to Bushnell Nebraska. About 15 miles from Pine Bluff Wyoming to watch this next storm build and eventually move west into Nebraska. We didn't want to be under the base of this storm due to the hail core. So we backed off and awaited the storm to develop right at sunset!

Only 1 pic from this time... The HD Video from this is much better and I'll post the vid of this soon.

 

We had to move north and east via Hwy 6 corridor in south central Nebraska to stay ahead of this cell.

 

One thing I have learned over the many years of storm chasing... Is that you NEVER bring out your camera in a dust storm.

 

I have paid the price more than once. Lens cleaning isn't cheap, and this storm was kicking up some major dirt. Several photogenic gustnados were forming ahead of this cell.

Being a Storm Chaser... one of the many things I have are memory cards. I have a ton of them.. and I have them all neatly sorted and organized...

 

Not this one though... found it in my truck and its been through hell and back... covered in mud snow and gunk. I cleaned it off and hot damn....

 

I totally had no clue that i even took snaps that day. 12 blocks from my house right about noon'ish this formed right over the city. I didn't chase this but some NICE storm captures from that early afternoon.

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!!!!

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!

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.

 

Finally, on the cell that I was underneath for an hour... decided to go severe. We were north of this storm, as it was getting some decent hail and a velocity signature on radar by Campbell Nebraska. (That is this view... looking due south from out location)

It was a day to remember here in Nebraska...

 

Storms were developing to the south east and north of our location right at sunset. A few thunderstorms were on the severe side, but we had the perfect light conditions. Even though the sun setting earlier every night this time of year. I couldn't have resisted not to chase these cells this evening.

Strong and severe storms cells now moving to the southwest from Custer County as I only had about an hour of sunlight left. I sure wasn't going to miss this opportunity!

 

I was on the hunt once again for some photographic thunderstorm fun pics.. Just had to catch up to the cell as it was now building and almost moving due south.

 

Now for anybody that does chase... personal note, I would not recommend Hwy 21 south into Dawson County. To many hills, and no real opportunistic places to pull over and take some good shots. Simply I got lucky. This storm was already in Beast Mode, and I wasted some precious time looking for places to stop and take some pics....as the sun was setting and I was losing light fast.

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

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!

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.

 

Severe storms now pushing due north northeast, they were also expanding. Had to position my self to the south back into Dawson county. I stopped right on the border between Custer & Dawson counties to get these next few captures. Right before the next storm cluster came into view!

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.

Eastern Nebraska & parts of Iowa that evening had the Severe Thunderstorms that afternoon. Was hoping for secondary development which never happened.

 

So what was captured was worthy of some cool mellow stormscapes / cloudscapes moving throughout South Central Nebraska.

The sun had set, and this cell was loosing some of her steam from that afternoon. However, she tightened and circulation now was evident again. Still had a severe warning on her so I had to stay aware since I had positioned myself almost right under the base.

 

CG lightning strikes every few seconds was illuminating the sky giving that rich purple flavor. I was safe, but in a dangerous place. Lucky I caught what I caught since she meant business.
