April 26: Southeast Colorado/Southwest Kansas Storms

High-based storm in southeast Colorado. A stronger storm is moving north from the Texas Panhandle, so I head southeast to intercept.

Northeast of Elkhart, looking towards the core of the storm.

Another wide-angle view.

April 28: Southwest Oklahoma Cumulus

Deep convection finally develops at sunset west of Lawton. It goes on to produce severe weather after dark.

April 30: Texas Panhandle Storm

Storm cell near Dumas.

May 2: Grand Island Storms

On a hot, humid day, cold front lights up as sunset approaches.

A few miles northwest of Grand Island.

Scenic structure as this cell weakens.

Near sunset, a supercell develops in southern Nebraska.

After-dark lightning show is spectacular with nearly continuous lightning (I-80 is in the foreground).

Lightning reveals a tornado look-alike.

But the lowering is part of outflow-generated scud with no connection to the mesocyclone.

May 4: Central Nebraska Storm

Small storm develops at the western edge of an outflow boundary near Thedford.
