June 23rd and 24th, 2008 Northern Plains Supercells
Last Updated on Monday, 04 January 2010 19:11 Written by Roger Hill
June 23rd and 24th kept us in the northern plains, from Nebraska to North Dakota. Ample moisture, decent shear and good instability would provide for severe storms on both days. Several tornado warned and severe warned storms would form, but would not produce tornadoes. Instead very large hail to baseball size and strong outflow winds would be the primary severe weather modes. Structure of HP supercells and a magnificent shelf cloud from a bowed out line in North Dakota on the 24th would give me great photo opportunities. Click on the picture for a larger image.

HP storm near Mandan is starting to line out. |
The Mandan supercell lined out and produced a very photogenic shelf cloud. |

The aqua colors tell the tale. |
