Elevated Storm Aglow

2025-12-12 By Roger Edwards

Elevated Storm Aglow
Riding atop a cold pool from a fast-moving storm complex to the east (behind), this high-based and elevated storm formed and raced eastward through sunset light.  Its flared base and cloud tail hinted at midlevel cyclonic rotation that was quite evident in the nearby Thedford (a.k.a “North Platte”) WSR-88D velocity presentation.  What an unexpectedly welcomed way to finish off an otherwise messy storm day in the beautiful Sandhills!

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...
