June 2nd - June 9th:
| June 2nd: Morning squall line west of Ponca City, Oklahoma. |
|
|
| Late that afternoon, a classic scene in the Texas Panhandle. |
|
|
| June 3rd: Supercell in the early evening just north of Stratton in eastern Colorado. |
|
|
| June 4th: Dramatic sky ahead of squall line in western Kansas (photo taken looking west from Scott City). A web of cloud-to-cloud lightning appeared right after I took this. |
|
|
| June 5th: Near Ellsworth, Kansas, cloudburst in a marginally severe storm. |
|
|
| June 7th: Storm at sunset northwest of Broken Bow, Nebraska. |
|
|
| A small rotating updraft moves west, splitting from the main storm. This is another day when marginally severe weather provides one of my best photos of the year. |
|
|
| June 9th: Supercell northeast of Denver. |
|
|
| Close-up view as the storm intensifies and begins moving northeast. |
|
|
| Downdraft stirs up cloud of dirt. |
|
|
| Wall cloud nearly touches the ground. |
