Charged Core

2024-07-06 By Roger Edwards

Charged Core

As the heavy-precip supercell progressed southeastward across northeast Colorado, on its journey from Nebraska to Nebraska, it hassled travelers at twilight with lightning, flooding rains and large hail.  Most of the lightning was inside cores.  A few flashes decorated the outer rim of the core, in this case the thick, rear-flank hook region, with the main low-level mesocyclone right down the road.  The flash also illuminate the inner part of the “clear slot,” in this case not very clear due to being deeply infused with precip.  Time exposure brightened the twilight some from its natural state.

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...
