A long, straight road stretches into the distance beneath a dramatic, shelf cloud. Towering clouds loom over vast, open fields, creating a contrast between the dark sky and the green landscape.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here

 

September was still hot & humid within the wide open plains of Nebraska. The drought this time of year is normal. The heat is not. Was lucky to get this lone storm that afternoon.

 

The winding down of the storm season is right on time. We did have a few night storms with some good lighting. But my time is limited this time of year. Was only able to get this event.

 

A photogenic storm was what I need & what was received that afternoon. It was the last storm that I chased for 2022.

 

Thanks for Watching & Supporting my Photography here on Flickr!

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.

What a way to end this chase day...

 

We arrived back in Kearney just as the back side of the storm was showing all of her Mammatus beauty. Tons of ambient cloud to cloud lighting and some rather earth shaking loud rumbles of thunder made me come inside. Not until I took a few final snaps of these mammatus clouds.

Dark, imposing shelf cloud dominates the sky, creating a sense of impending weather over a flat green landscape. The horizon is faintly visible beneath the thick cloud cover. A possible wall cloud is forming under the base of this storm.

2012 was a dry summer and the storm season was few & far between. Last recorded rainfall for us was back in early June. Working constantly I had that Sunday evening off and was able to get out to get a few snaps of this oncoming storm.

 

Finally received some much needed moisture. Strong thunderstorms had formed out in western Nebraska & were dying as they were entering southwest Buffalo county here in South Central Nebraska.

 

No warnings on this storm but she was producing some exceptional views of the core. Incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes pummeled the earth . This storm cell was proceeding to the northeast from the southwest. It crested right on the northern outskirts of the city. Couldn't have asked for better light & storm. Many photographic gems in this set!

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'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.

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.

 

I was watching the warnings go up for cells about 2 hours north of my location. Was watching some of the other chasers via the web that were out and about on these cells that early afternoon. Lots of action, severe warnings....it was my calling! I had gear packed and headed just to the west of Broken Bow. It was where I first encountered this beast.

 

Little did I know that I would follow this all the way back into norther Buffalo County that evening... With some of my best storm captures from August 2017!

Early August Severe Weather...

 

Another monster of a thunderstorm mothership was forming just to the northwest of Elm Creek Nebraska! I had all the gear ready and was in position to intercept as it crossing over I-80 into northern Phelps County, south central Nebraska!

 

A Beast... Beautiful and Photogenic It was something to see live. We get our few super photogenic storms here in South Central Nebraska and this was one of them in 2014.

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....

Not uncommon to have a severe thunderstorm this early in the season here in Nebraska. Unexpected yes, but we had all the right ingredients for this to happen. Warm temps, gulf moisture, and right along the jet stream. To bad this was all after sunset. It was cold and the strong south winds, along side the rain were all in my face.

 

Turned the truck so I could at least get a few shots. Some or I should say most came out a little blurry due to no matter how hard I tried to keep the camera steady I was fighting a loosing battle with the wind.

 

Final results from the shoot was ok... got some good lightning pics and some good atmospheric shots. Not bad for the first outing of 2013

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!

We were to have storm cells develop on this day, and they were predicted not to be severe. They were not... Though when the perfect opportunity for light & shadow comes into view, I couldn't resist.

 

I grabbed my gear and set out to capture some of the beautiful landscape/cloudscapes from May 2015. The storm cells were developing through south central Nebraska were weak but highly photogenic.

This Majestically Beautiful Supercell was loosing steam.. She wouldn't be downgraded until she went south of Nebraska I-80 Corridor between Kearney & Gibbon.

 

I didn't have time to stop in Kearney long enough, due to I was racing the sunset and still trying to stay in front of the storm. Incredible CC & CG Lighting filled the sky every few seconds as I could hear the Civil Defense (Tornado Sirens) firing off in the City of Kearney & Gibbon Nebraska.

 

I would eventually realign myself in front of the storm after sunset to get some good lightning firing off. It wasn't the end that days chase. We had another Thunderstorm, severe warned right behind this one... This was to good to be true....Oh what a night!!!

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornadoes that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.

 

For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.

 

I got lucky this day as...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.

 

Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

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.

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!!!!

Early April ... 2024

 

Dark, ominous clouds hang low over a flat Nebraska landscape. A 5% Tornado Risk that afternoon. An impending severe thunderstorm coming off the horizon.

 

Positioned just to the southwest of Holdrege Nebraska & right in the path of its fire.

 

A Nebraska farmstead is visible near the horizon, dwarfed by the vastness of the sky and the intensity of this weather event.

The Long Hot Dawg Days of Summer in Nebraska...Record Heat this year and we all can feel it! Its also been abnormally dry. 2020 was a drought year and 2021 is looking to be the same.

 

We only had 2 Storms...come though south central Nebraska. But what came through was special and we were on our game to be in the right place at the right time.

 

Just south of Elm Creek Nebraska. Looking due west, severe warned, rotation was imminent!

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!

Almost perfect conditions for severe weather that day in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. Towers were in full force by 4:30pm and the NWS has issued waring for Buffalo County. Storm cells were only moving at 15mph to the north northwest and it was producing some quarter sized hail.

 

Got north of the hail core via Hwy 10. It (the hail core) was just dumping on the south side of this storm, so the plan was to move north northwest of the storm and see what I get.

 

Full fledged wall cloud was developing directly southwest. I had positioned myself to the north west of Pleasaton Nebraska to possibly get that special photographic opportunity.

 

I truly wasn't disappointed. It was in my terms... the perfect day!

Torrential rain, dime sized hail, were just part of what we received when the storm caught up with in Norton Kansas.

 

We packed up and headed east via Hwy 36 to junction 383. This would position us again in front of this storm cell. Again tons of cc & cg lightning were still accompanying this growing severe warned cell.

Talk about being disappointed. Lightning is by far my favorite thing to capture. If you have watched my video on this day on my Facebook Link, you would find about 30 images that I didn't have focused. Talk about wanting to shoot my self in the foot. It would have been some of my best captures to date.....

 

I did redeem myself though. The storm was still firing off a ton of cg lightning. Refocused my lens and captured these final shots of day.

In position to watch the storm develop to the west and southwest. I had got to one of my open spaces that had quick access to the north if I had to leave fast.

 

This storm cell developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

We had a moderate risk day for this area though the storms would stay high based and nothing but some good structure to photograph for this day.

 

Was definitely worth my time!

Late May ... 2024

 

Majestic, dark storm clouds dominate the sky while a fiery orange sunset illuminates the horizon. A lone tree stands in an expansive field beneath the dramatic scene.

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!!!!

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....

 

Now positioned just to the west of Eustis Nebraska. In some of these captures you can see the water tower from city of Farnam. I wasn't able to get ahead the storm, though just as good, as I got right along side this monster.

 

Perfect timing, perfect light, and the perfect storm... what more could I ask for!!!! You Gotta Love Nebraska!

 

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.

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.

Early June.... conditions this time of year are prime for night storms. Just some phenomenal lighting display that evening. One of those strikes knocked out power in southwest Kearney that evening.

 

I knew there was a reason why I kept all those images!

This cell was a slow mover... only about 10mph almost due south. Severe warned and producing some real eye candy. Backbuilding, it was a sight to see live.

 

Though sunset was upon me and I was loosing light fast. Perfect timing for this set of captures!!!

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!

Moved to the south to get ahead of this monster once again! TVS Warnings and Tornado Warnings were in front and back of our location as we traveled to Trenton Nebraska. Again we didn't see any tornadoes. If they were there they were rain wrapped.

 

We honestly should not have been in the thick of it with no visibility but that's whats called punching the core to get to the other side of the storm.

 

Back in front of this we had lost our warning for the storm but within 10 mins of being there another tornado warning popped up right in front of us.

 

Radar had indicated the tornado just to the northwest (right side of this image) but we couldn't see it due to the intensity of the rainfall. We had just a few mins before the core of the storm passed over us. These are the images before that event!

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!

It looked good on radar but this was high based thunderstorm. Nothing of any severity except some small hail.

 

Not many captures from that afternoon, but it sure was picturesque.

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!

Next stop was just to the west of Haigler Nebraska. Where there is no cell reception ... which means no radar data and no calls. Had to do this old school, which is fine by me. I didn't have smart phones and or instant data for storms before 1995. Though my partner in training was a little concerned we had it covered!

 

Beautiful Nebraska Supercell structure impending into our area in Southwest Nebraska. Just over the border from the Colorado state line. Creeping slowly about 14 knots per hour. We would be in position to encounter this tornado warned storm for the 3rd time this day.

 

Incredibly photographic structure from top to bottom on this cell. With all of our cameras focused on this event, can you say right place at the right time!

On the northern border of Kansas I patiently awaited the last severe cells that I could chase in 2018. I was in position for another fantastic chase day. No nader... but I had some excellent structure before she went outflow dominant east of Smith Center Kansas. It was definitely worth my time that afternoon. (BTW I spelled dominant wrong in the video...lol)

Sun was finally peaking out... clouds were clearing. Giving us this just Jaw Dropping Nebraska Thunderset... (Thunderstorm @ Sunset)

 

This supercell storm was cresting to the northeast & the ambient sunset light was giving us that Nebraska Magic. Just the perfect conditions to end this day. The final shots of light & storm were dynamically beautiful.

A sprawling field stretches beneath a dramatic sky filled with swirling dark clouds, punctuated by a brilliant flash of lightning. The impending storm creates a striking contrast between the rich, green grass and the dark, moody atmosphere above. The scene is tranquil yet charged with the anticipation of the oncoming tempest.
