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.

A dramatic sky features large, dark storm clouds forming above an open field, with a patch of light breaking through. The vast landscape below contrasts with the ominous cloud formations, creating a sense of tension and awe.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here

 

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!

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!

*** Personal Note ***

 

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.

Another Incredible Nebraska Skyscape. Beautiful July ambient light, against a dying thunderstorm. Nope it's not severe but it's what I do when the light is right. Plus, I was super sick... A few days away from being forced into the hospital. I'm better now, and thankful.. that's a story to come!

 

I honestly took extra time on these captures. I was using a new filter on my new lens. So no added color or any adjustments to the image in Photoshop on this set. Now I had to bring them through Photoshop from raw... but that's it and of course the pano's are done separately.

 

Also... I only had one camera...for video that evening. Otherwise you would have seen this first storm cross over and you would have seen some sweet Nebraska thunderstorm views. Just to the east southeast. July Mammatus... these are just as sweet as this video... Just captures though...These have been added to this set.

 

It seemed the sicker I got, the better the photography I took... It was only about 10 days till I was forced into the hospital. I shouldn't have been out. But you don't get captures like this if you don't go try to catch them...

 

I was sick but had a blast, and what I caught was just Awesome!

Looking to get to the best position for this incoming shelf cloud! Moved again to get the best advantage for my captures. Now east side of Kearney on some new roads still under construction, no traffic and all open sky that I want.

 

This storm cell eventually 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!

Vibrant storm clouds swirl dramatically across the sky, transitioning from a deep blue to a warm orange as they hover above a flat, expansive field. The horizon is lined with silhouetted trees, adding contrast to the dynamic cloud formations.

May 23, 2010 - Kearney Nebraska

 

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

 

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

Almost late June 2020, and the severe weather season has been just down right horrible for anything of photographic value this year. I mean this when I say Chase Locally. Due to Health issues, Truck maintenance issues, Equipment Issues, Camera Issues... With all that has been going on in my life, I've had to pick my chasing days and nights carefully this year. To be 100% Honest... I'm just happy I get to chase! Never let bad things set you back when the opportunity presents itself. That's my motto!

 

Luckily I had all my gear ready to go when when had strong severe thunderstorms develop in north central Nebraska and they were cresting southward down to south central Nebraska. My home turf.

 

This time of year is when everything changes weather wise here in south central Nebraska. Monsoons down in the southwest part of the US are firing and that usually means for us no storms. Not in 2020. Even though we had a late start to severe weather season here... mother nature hasn't let me down so far. She has remained active in my neck of the woods.

 

All the storms this day were outflow boundary generated storms. Meaning no tornadoes this day. Though I did capture 1 funnel, you'll see this in the video. Though with outflow dominate storms shelf clouds form and they can be more than picturesque. Its what I was hunting for this day! Oh did I get some and then some!

Weak storm cells developing to the southwest of Kearney and into my backyard. Another stormscape photo opportunity awaited.

 

When the storms are off in the distance...

 

Even though I wasn't chasing the storms that afternoon. Being close to home means that I'll get a chance at capturing some interesting storm cloud structures. Late May storm towers off to my southeast... & the cloudscapes coming up from North Central Kansas would be simply surreal that evening.

It was to good to be true, but right after sunset a secondary small non severe thunderstorm started to brew just to the southwest of Kearney.

 

Even though I just had a spectacular afternoon of some incredible stormscapes, I was in for a treat this night. An electrified thriller, one storm that I wont soon forget.

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!

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!

Some of my best severe weather photography came out of this night supercell. This was a storm to remember in 2014.

 

This storm cell was at first, a very slow mover moving southeast about 9-10mph before it even reached northern Buffalo County. I had to work late and I was considering not to even go out. Glad I made an effort to do so....

 

Most of these captures were north of Odessa Nebraska US, and some in the city limits of Kearney,

Now a Nebraska Supercell Monster... 3 inch hail now with this storm. Thank God I got out of the way... 3rd windshield already this year. Didn't want to replace a 4th!

 

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!!!

3nd Chase of 2017...

 

Most of you know that follow me on Flickr & Social Media... that I love good opportunities to capture lightning. It was one of the reasons why I took up storm photography 20+ years ago. I didn't have many opportunities in 2016 to capture lightning...

 

This year it started off with a Bang. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Disappointed of that afternoons chase... I was redeemed by the storms ample cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes. An epic night of storm photography!

Late Night Storm Chasing... not really, this was just a few blocks from my home. Though a week after my injury, it was effecting my health. Severe back and neck pain due to the infection spreading... I still challenged myself to get out. It was painful but as you see, I was more than successful. It was definitely worth my time to get out that late night. I needed to do so, my spirit need to be recharged.

 

Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Got to my location and set up and went to town... Oh was this worth it!!!

 

This storm was severe warned and was moving almost west / west southeast from my pov. Just on the outskirts of Buffalo County, it was maturing & gaining strength. One can clearly see the base of this storm in this part, this set of captures. On radar this had rotation detected. I've seen this before, tons of wicked good forked CG lightning strikes extruding from the base of this storm. I thought I was going to see a night nader move right in front of my location. Instead she didn't drop anything, but you can sure witness the rotation in these captures....

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!

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.

Though all of our planning had us hoping for an epic chase day, but mother nature had other plans...

 

Traveled to western Nebraska to wait for the initiation of severe storms either in the Northeast section of Colorado or where the cape and moisture signatures were predicted for that afternoon and evening. We had our hopes up. The CAP would prevent any development of storms for us that day...

 

We had to move from eastern Colorado down to Northwest Kansas. Where....Finally thunderstorm initiation started just to the south of St. Francis Kansas. Not many pics from this set but it was good pickens for a bust chase day!

I had pushed back north to the I-80 Overton Interstate interchange and was moving due east. There wasn't a soul on the road except for 1 maintenance truck that would end up next to me in Elm Creek Nebraska.

 

Now back in front of this cell as my full attention was directed due south. This tornadic storm was producing some incredible rotation. Window down and concentrating on driving to the east. I was taking a few snaps when I could and being safe about it. There was some incredible south winds that was swaying my truck, or I should say pushing my truck from lane to lane.

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!!!

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....

Impressive... This is what I wait for each year. The opportunity presented itself, and I was prepared. Though I was super sick, and I shouldn't have been out.

 

I had left early that late afternoon to head north from Kearney. I knew from day prior that this would be a phenomenal storm chasing day. SPC had us on Target from the night before. All the right conditions came together. Awesome.

 

These were just the outer edges of this supercell as I approached from the southeast. Perfect Conditions, Perfect Light.... but the 3" diameter hail was not, that was to come....

 

Just some superb captures to start off that storm chase'n afternoon. Which, btw was only the beginning....

Late evening and storms were coming up due south out of North Central Kansas that evening. Not much development until it developed just south of Kearney Nebraska.

 

Some intense CG's with lots of crystal clear lightning! Continues Forked and Electrified Cloud to Ground lightning Strikes... It was an impressive night for storm photography!

A dramatic storm cloud looms over a rural landscape, casting a shadow over a straight road lined with fields. The colors of the sky display a striking gradient from turquoise to deep gray, intensifying the impending weather.

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!

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!

 

2 cells were approaching... this one from the due south that would turn into Northern Kansas (in which we should have followed but didn't)!

 

The other cell was coming from Wray Colorado. The cell we've been chasing for the past few hours. Both would turn out to be phenomenal and both were in our path! Still tornado warned and we would get our chance again! Pure Nebraska Supercell Eye Candy!

Mid August 2025

 

Late Summer here... This usually tends to be our dry season in Nebraska.... But not this year.

 

I had friends over as we were working on the back porch & garden. Seen this was starting to produce some decent daytime lightning... Grabbed my gear & headed out.

 

Just a few blocks away from the homestead to get this event.

 

Thanks for Watching!!!

Usually by this time in any year here in Nebraska our storm season is way over. Not that way in 2021. Our severe weather pattern stayed active all the way til late December.

 

I was late to the game on this one but got a few good snaps!

June is our prime time month for severe weather here in South Central Nebraska. Every year this window of the severest weather of season varies. The June 2013 was prime for our severe weather events and was right on time!

 

Local Chase Day. I had ventured south out of Kearney knowing that storm development was already in progress though severe thunderstorm warnings just being issued for Dawson and Buffalo Counties in Nebraska. Projected storm path was just to the west of Kearney and south so I ventured down to the Hwy 6 corridor to play ball.

 

Was able to finally get ahead of this storm again. Now just next to Wilcox Nebraska as this front was on my tail. Didn't have much time to set up equipment. But I did have time to catch this!

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!

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!

Sunrise...

 

Non severe forming just south of the I-80 corridor. I was south of the Interstate & due south of the city of Kearney. Some interesting asperatus clouds were forming. Rare set of cloud type. Had to pull over to get a few snaps.

A dramatic supercell storm cloud looms over a lush green landscape, casting a shadow over fields and trees. The contrast between the dark, heavy clouds and the bright greenery creates a striking visual effect.

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!!!!
