An extensive pool of moist, stable air covered the Great Plains countryside after the passage of a severe-storm cluster that still cast a dark and ominous pall across the eastern sky as it departed. With the storms being very high-based and outflow-dominant on the front end, and no legitimate chance of a supercellular tornado, we hopped over to the back side to enjoy the cool air, rain-freshened landscape, and exquisite post-storm light that is characteristic of the late-afternoon “magic” hour. Seldom does such a maneuver disappoint, and it certainly worked here. I love sunlit landscapes with dark-storm backgrounds!
