August 24th, 2002 Paoli, Colorado Mothership Supercell
Last Updated on Sunday, 10 January 2010 00:51 Written by Roger Hill
August 24 kept me in the Colorado and Nebraska area. An old outflow boundary would be the focal point for severe weather this day. I headed out to Julesburg and played an elevates supercell moving across southwest Nebraska. This storm did produce large hail, but I did not see a tornado, even though a couple were reported with it. I ended up playing a very scenic supercell coming out of Nebraska into Sedgwick county, Colorado. This storm was rapidly rotating and exhibited beautiful structure. It also produced golf ball sized hail covering the highway.
