I left Valentine sometime before noon and headed for se NE. On the way I began to really believe things wouldn't wait for me. Well they waited. I got this storm as it went up sw of Nebraska City. |
|
|
It had some nice LP structure. This updraft was quite skinny but persistent. |
|
|
Right about now it was getting a bit of a kidney bean shape on radar, though very small. |
|
|
A cell explodes to the sw of the one I had been on. You can barely make out the base of the sheared over updraft of my storm with the anvil of the other blocking out the sun. These storms were north of the warm front and in basically zero surface flow. All they could do was eat what they could as they dropped south. The new one sw of mine pretty much kills it. |

|
The supercell north of Dawson NE. |
|
|
This was much more than I had expected to see this day. |
|
|
Very nice beaver tail stretching east of the base. It is just too bad about the low level flow on this one. There was plenty of instability and flow aloft, but no low level flow. |
|
|
Now this was cool. The storm is vanishing at this time so I'm shooting some mammatus above the Dawson water tower. |
|
|
Then I notice what the remnants of the updraft are doing. The remaining mass is corkscrewing away. |
|
|
I hurried and setup the vid cam and got as many stills as I could. |
|
|
Moving around! |
|
|
I was actually hoping somehow this would manage to spin something up on the ground, even if it was my head. |
|
|
Watch how it shivels up into nothingness. |
|
|
|
|
|
Gone! That was pretty cool. |
