July 19th was a day I thought we would be in Canada. A strong trough, with good moisture and instability tracked along the US and Canada border. A boundary had formed from northwest North Dakota into western Iowa and would be the focal point for severe storms. We intercepted a supercell near Williston, North Dakota and tracked it well south of Bismark, North Dakota, over a 10 hour chase! It was either severe or tornado warned the entire time. What a beautiful storm. It arguably was the prettiest supercell of the year. It produced dozens of severe hail reports including hail baseball sized. Click on the pic for a larger image. Enjoy!

Rolling across the prairies of central North Dakota. |
Struggled a bit here, but reorganized. |
Starting spinning strongly again. |
 Getting better and better! |

One of my favorites. East of Bismark. |
Wow, what can be said. Incredible! |
