In what I termed the “Wayside Revelation” right there on the spot, the sky’s obscurations of low clouds and dust parted before a tall, brilliantly illuminated sunset supercell. While too much dust remained to see anything meaningful of the storm’s base, its previously golden middle and upper reaches reddened into more of a copper hue, compelling a wellspring of gratitude to begin closing out a heretofore frustrating chase day. This viewing window shut fast in another half minute or less, compelling a northward run. I would catch some lightning-illuminated nighttime glimpses of the elevated version of this storm farther north from I-40, on the way to the night’s lodging. [Back to Part 1.]
