Electrified “Mush”

2023-04-16 By Roger Edwards

Electrified "Mush"

Not long before, this was a brief supercell with promising structure (what’s left of the updraft is on the left edge), but undercutting outflow elevated, then doomed, the storm.  Spotters and chasers often call convective activity that loses its visual definition “mush”, and this was becoming that.  I kept the camera trained down the road, however, because delicately beautiful lightning filaments sometimes flashed far across the sky, from the midlevels of the dying forward-flank core region.  I managed to catch one.  Success!  On an otherwise frustrating day where I seemed to kill every storm I encountered from west of Tucumcari to northeast of Dalhart, small victories meant much.

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...
