While a stunning, mature, low-precipitation supercell‘s updraft an anvil brilliantly colored the northern sky, this much-younger storm—evolving into another supercell—erupted with layer after layer of colors. The older supercell’s fuzzy anvil bottom contributed to this display too, subtly catching both direct and reflected sunlight at upper left. All over this wondrously complex convective scene of two sunset skies in one, clouds reflected and re-reflected tones from a broad palette, lighting up sky and land, and making the hours of driving from home worth every minute and mile to this deeply grateful Great Plains storm observer.
