The day after I left Norman for an eventful nontornadic storm and sunset day in central Nebraska, this one turned out even more so, in western South Dakota. A massive supercellular hail machine, producing the largest hail in the nation that day, had roared away, leaving me to attempt an intercept of this supercell, which was near Rapid City at the time I targeted it. Alas, a large yet photogenic left-moving storm blew up right in the way, both diverting attention and my intercept path for a bit. The left-moving supercell also heaved forth a large field of cool outflow, injuring but not killing this targeted storm. Despite the destructive disruption, this right-mover somehow (likely with a lot of help from the pre-existing, strong, low/middle-level mesocyclone) ingested enough parcels from the unmolested warm sector to keep it going. It made for some pleasant scenery across the rolling shortgrass prairies north of the Badlands.
