Spectacular supercell in central Texas…in mid June? You bet! The weather pattern was highly unusual to place strong, supercell-favoring flow over the Hill Country at this time of year, but there we were. This booming barber pole of swirling vapors was the second supercell in the Brady/Mason area in the span of just a couple hours, both furiously flinging electricity from their upper reaches on all sides. Though the majority of tall flashes were from the downshear anvil, I caught one off the storm’s lateral/inflow side that boomed for a long time. Early sunset-hour light enriched the experience.
