Border-Crossing Left Mover

2025-07-19 By Roger Edwards

Border-Crossing Left Mover
An expanding, heavy-precip, left-moving supercell was crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico to Texas, and didn’t even bother with any green cards nor border crossings.  The river and border, just a couple miles off-image to the right, was no impediment for this storm.  The supercell, now pushing out a deep, tiered arcus formation, had begun to gust out with severe wind and hail, though its midlevel and partly low-level mesocyclone still existed about in the middle of the photo, and just beyond the ridge line.  Around the time of this photo, or shortly after, the winds overturned a westbound tractor-trailer rig on this highway (US-90), blowing the truck northward and partly off the road.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
