Supercell Lightning – Custer County, Nebraska – May 26, 2013

Artist: Brian Morganti

After playing around waiting for storms to form in eastern Colorado it soon became apparent that storms would be forming farther to our east in Nebraska. I along with the Tempest Tours group intercepted a young cell forming north of I-80 in western Nebraska and could tell right away that this one had promise to form something spectacular. I watched this fantastic Low Precipitation Supercell spin over western Nebraska for hours while it put out a spectacular display of highly branched cloud to ground lightning. This activity continued until well after sunset as the storm moved very slowly to the east.
