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.
