For just a short time, a supercell that nearly dissipated just a few miles to the west reinvigorated dramatically, assuming this tremendous appearance. I have seen countless many rotating thunderstorms assume similar cloud forms across every part of the American prairie, and still, each new one is unique in detail, magnetic in its capacity to generate appreciative mindfulness, and unfailingly, thoroughly, slack-jaw amazing to behold. Moments like this are a large reason I ply the painted lines of Great Plains roadways year after year, thousands more miles under my wheels. Very soon, the storm would wrap rain and hail around its mesocyclone and entirely under a the widening, bell-shaped skirt, becoming a heavy-precipitation (HP) supercell.
