After a supercell I had observed merged with a growing cluster of convection to it east, the entire complex backbuilt, then ran away over the Badlands and into the twilight, leaving behind a beautifully chaotic, blue-hour sky with an occasional flicker of lightning for good measure. This would become my camping spot for the night, filling interludes of sleeplessness with filtered to full light from a full moon, and the cool outflow breezes that carried the noises of crickets, distant coyotes, and the gentle tapping of sporadic raindrops on the vehicle roof. The trailing “mushroom stem” strand of elevated convection was beginning to my west-northwest, and would continue off and on all night long, into an orange-painted rainy sunrise.
