Missouri Cornfield Supercell

2024-06-27 By Roger Edwards

Missouri Cornfield Supercell

The corn wasn’t quite yet as “high as a man’s eye”, but was well on its way to producing harvestable ears when this southeastward-moving supercell came along to batter it with severe wind and hail.  Crops in the Heartland depend on spring and summer rains to succeed, but often that rain arrives alongside damaging aspects of spring to early summer thunderstorms.  The wall cloud with this supercell appeared to have a smoothed, somewhat elevated appearance, despite the visually low base.  When I moved south and let it get closer, the reason was apparent:  cool outflow to its east through south, including areas normally occupied by a surface inflow notch of a northwest-flow supercell.

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...
