Mid May 2026

There have been storms either out of my chasing area or constraint on the timing of them. So by saying this, it was my first chase of the 2026 storm season.

A vast landscape with ominous storm clouds gathering approaching. The open field in the foreground contrasts with the dramatic, darkening sky.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here

East of Elm Creek Nebraska...

Couldn't have timed it out more perfectly as this still had some good definition to it. This cell was about overtake my position so I took as many snaps as I could.

Funny thing was... I had several people stop by & say Hi... About 7 people and 10 cars all stopped to watch the show with me... The sky was talking....

Final Shots of the afternoon as the storm to my east gathered some rotation & was passing just to the west of the city of Kearney. From my POV you could see a nice wall cloud form as storm moved almost due southeast.

2" Hail core was coming in quick. Had a few last shots before it decided to unleash its power.

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!

*** 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.

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.

For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

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!

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.

070914 - Industrial Light & Nebraska Thunderstorm Magic! (Pano) by NebraskaSC

July 9, 2014 - North of Minden Nebraska US

What a Day to remember...

I was just out of surgery for my left knee, I wasn't supposed to be out at all. Knee was swollen to the size of a soft ball or bigger. Wrapped & in a cast but I wasn't about to let one of the best photographic storms of the season pass me by. Mrs & Friends helped me into my truck. Gear in hand I was off!

Before I was able to get on this storm. Historically, this storm wrecked havoc on 16 counties with softball and baseball sized hail. I caught up with it just to the south of Minden Nebraska as I was traveling south. I would never get in front of it but only on the back side as it proceeded to the southeast into North Central Kansas.

From my point of view, it was one of the best photographic storm of the year in South Central Nebraska. Some incredible captures from the back side of this incredibly photogenic thunderstorm. Light & Shadow played well as the Sun peaked out at the end of this day!

I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.

Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.

I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.

I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

It was time to move... storm was getting nasty and I had to get north to get back in front of this storm cell.

This storm had been moving about 15 mph to the north / northeast, now she had picked up steam and was cruising about 35 mph with torrential rain and dime to quarter sized hail.

I proceed due north and I couldn't get out of the heavy rain bans, until I got back just to the south of Kearney Nebraska....

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!

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.

Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.

Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

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.

Back to Hwy 6, then north.. Had to catch up to the storm. I did but it was weakening, but still a photographic treat.

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!

Now just north of Alma Nebraska...

We didn't allow us much time to find a suitable spot for us to the base of the storm.

We had limited time when we stopped. Storm was approaching fast from the southwest. Where we stopped I wasn't considering how high the corn here in Nebraska in late August. We didn't get a choice to move. It was now or never. So we stopped & set up fast and got with I could with 4k @ ground level.

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.

I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

We didn't allow us much time to find a suitable spot for us to the base of the storm. A few things to note here.

When we chase, SAFETY is the number 1 thing that I stress to the individuals that chase with me. I have to practice what I preach.

We have to find a safe spot to pull off and get the pics, vids Once we make this choice to pull off when always include a EXIT plan before we stop. (Chasing for all these years, I've learned a very valuable lesson. Never stop unless you have an open an safe exit area when chasing severe weather

National Weather Service had a severe warning on this cell as it was slowly moving to the east northeast. As we were east of Minden Nebraska and were finally able to pull out ahead of this cell.

We paused for a few minutes to absorb the moment!

This is PART 1

In my own opinion....One of the best things on this Planet to experience as a human being...

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!

Final Shots of that evening as the intensity of this storm was strengthening. It had some wicked good outflow winds once it came a little closer.

Got quite & calm for about 10 mins then all hell broke loose. Of course you know I waited till the last minute....

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.

Now on the hunt for the storms, heading east to the next set of developing storm cells. I came across this incredible rainbow just to the south of Giltner Nebraska.

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.

It was my last hurrah for 2017.

I had a little time to kill. So I drove under this cell to get on back side of this storm. I knew that the light was perfect for ambient light.

Might as well take advantage of it before I headed south to the cells i would end up chasing that afternoon. I couldn't have asked for a better natural lighting! Thank You Mother Nature!

I was getting pelted with quarter sized hail I was taking snaps as fast as I could. 70 mph winds prevented my holding the camera steady but I did get in a few good shots.

Inside the bear cage... I was in the wrong place at the right time. I didn't wimp out... I did stick around for about 30 seconds to get these few additional captures.

Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...

First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.

There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.

The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

Working on Spring projects with the wife. Enjoying our day together. Plans were made & I had no plans for chasing any storms even if they form.

Honestly, My time with family succeeds any other activity. I knew there were storms to the south of us this day. But again it was family time. I didn't even look on radar.

Finished our projects & went out to the front of the house and my jaw dropped!!! Literally in front of me this incredible updraft on a NON-severe warned storm. This had no warning on it, and I was dumbfounded. Asked... Wife said go get'm Tiger... Rest is History.

Storm Chasing is not always about catching a Tornado. This storm cell was already in its dying stages... Finished off this afternoon with some up close and personal shots of this dying thunderstorm!

We had to pack up and move south via Hwy 283 South then Head due east of Hwy 89. This route takes us though Beaver City, Orleans, and eventually just north of Alma Nebraska.

Now just north of Alma Nebraska...

We didn't allow us much time to find a suitable spot for us to the base of the storm. A few things to note here.

When we chase, SAFETY is the number 1 thing that I stress to the individuals that chase with me. I have to practice what I preach.

We have to find a safe spot to pull off and get the pics, vids.

Once we make this choice to pull off when always include a EXIT plan before we stop. (Chasing for all these years, I've learned a very valuable lesson. Never stop unless you have an open an safe exit area when chasing severe weather

We had limited time when we stopped. Storm was approaching fast from the southwest. Where we stopped I wasn't considering how high the corn here in Nebraska in late August. We didn't get a choice to move. It was now or never. So we stopped & set up fast and got with I could with 4k @ ground level.

It was our best structure of severe weather 2021. Defined Meso... Eye Candy Structure.... What more could we ask for!

I've always been told, that rainbows are special and are rare indeed. I have to believe that this is true. You simply have have to be at the right place at the right time. I was this particular day!

Soundbound on Hwy 69. Just on the outer edge of this southward moving storm. The sun was peaking through, and there wasn't a soul in either direction. Pulled over to capture a few examples of Nebraska's Majestic Nature!

Wasn't looking forward to the 3 hour drive back home. What was left of the storm was a HP mess. I sat back for about 30 minutes and let the rain push east. After I got my bearings, I was headed east.

Sun was setting. I was under the perfect light conditions. Back side of the storm, via Hwy 6/34. I couldn't have asked a better photographic opportunity.

Now back in South Central Nebraska... We were about to experience the strongest outflow boundary of the year. 110-120 mph winds were accompanied by this super strong beast. Tons of cloud to cloud lightning and beautiful arcus shelf cloud structure was beautiful view as she approached from the southwest.

Now moving almost directly due east we had to jimmy south to Alma Nebraska from Hwy 89 to get back in front of this monster. Believe it or not, the calm before the storm was evident here. No wind until the shelf came over our heads and then we got hit hard. Luckily we had gear already prepped and put away as headed north as soon as this hit our location.

Though you know me... I waited till the very last second to get these captures!

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!

It's June, Hot Humid... It's Prime Time Storm Season...

Though we only had a 10% chance of any type of development of storm that afternoon & evening. In fact all of the storms that day were to stay in western Nebraska and move to the north out of range of South Central Nebraska. That obviously was wrong!

I had just finished putting on the 2nd coat of stain on the new deck. Friends had stopped over to check on my progress. I had been so involved on completing the task at hand I didn't notice the lighting to the south of the city.

Let it be said I was unprepared and these 2 storms that rolled though that evening were unexpected. It was the reason I was finishing the staining of the deck. Though I did have everything charged and ready to go just in case. Wrapped up what I could and covered the new patio as best I could which would be a waste of time due to it all blew away!

This is the 2nd set of storms for that evening. I got lucky and into position just to the west of the city to watch this shelf cloud from its origin to when it came overhead.

Can I say priceless. Captured this life cycle of a shelf cloud... It was a nasty bugger of a storm also. 60+mph hour winds and some torrential rain.

There were mild pulse storms that afternoon in western & central Nebraska. Some eventually became defined storms. This one rolled in from due west right at dusk's twilight.

Outflow dominate with a nice defined shelf cloud. Eventually it was severe warned as it crept ever so slowly that evening to my location.

An Epic Chase Day was upon us. Though the rest of the Nation was celebrating the Holiday. National Weather Service had us pegged for a moderate risk that afternoon & evening. Due to my injures to my back the past few months. Chasing Storms has been on the back burner... Until Now!!!

First cells of the day were in North Central Kansas. The boundary line was from North Central Kansas up to Norfolk Nebraska & a bit further north. All the action that day was going to be the east of Hastings Nebraska & South. Planned it out correctly for time & distance.

We encountered this incredible updraft structure on the back side of this storm as we were passing though Hastings Nebraska. Were were trying to catch up to it Via Hwy 6 & we eventually we did just to the east to Sutton Nebraska.

This storm was producing 2" hail so we held off a few mins to the the west of Sutton. We had perfect view of the wall cloud due southwest of the hail core. Had a nice tail but never formed.

Proceeded south to get south of revved up supercell. We got along side of it via Hwy 81 south of Geneva Nebraska. Few miles south of Strang Nebraska we got ahead of the rain core & got in sight (paralleled to this storm) of this incredible developing wall cloud under the base of this storm. It did not produce a tornado but the views from this supercell were down right spectacular.

We had to reposition ourselves a few miles south of Bruning Nebraska as this Supercell move south southeast. The video & images I caught that afternoon were worth the trip. Phenomenal Storm Captures out on the plains of South Central Nebraska on the 4th of July.

Made it home to light of some fireworks & delicious bbq. Nice end to this day with family & friends after this Epic Storm Chasing Day!

This thunderstorm was becoming more defined as it strengthened.

National Weather Service had a severe warning on this cell as it was slowly moving to the east northeast. As we were east of Minden Nebraska and were finally able to pull out ahead of this cell.

We paused for a few minutes to absorb the moment!
