“The good life” somehow evaded this dying gasp of deep convection just north of the Kansas/Nebraska border, as seen from right on the state line. Storm observers often refer to these cloud formations, whereby a small anvil and fuzzy, rainy remnant of a low- to middle-level updraft are all that remains, as “little orphan anvils.” The linked image is a literal textbook archetype that I shot on slide film 30 years before, also from failed attempts at storm genesis off a dryline, but over 400 miles to the south.
