Just north of the Oklahoma/Colorado border, a supercell blew up shortly before sunset, putting on a spectacular show for all who stationed themselves to its west. This is the broader view, a minute or two later, of a previously posted zoom revealing the excellent and vibrantly colored pileated-tower action on the storm’s rear flank. For a chase day with little hope and little convection before this, patience paid once again on the High Plains! Unless there’s a fairly strong chance of an evening tornado, which wasn’t true here due to impending storm mergers and messier mode later, I prefer to position myself within about a 120-degree angle from abeam (usually south) to rearward (west) of sunset supercells for astonishing moments of beauty like this.
