June 12: Kansas Storms
Storm in east-central Kansas, a few miles west of Emporia, on the last day of chasing before a summer weather pattern takes over the central Plains.


Next storm down the line, in Chase County, on this marginal day with weak inflow.


Non-rotating wall cloud northwest of the town of Matfield Green.


Wide-angle view.


Storm becomes disorganized as new storms form back towards Wichita.


Last view of the storm over Chase County grazing land.


At dusk I intercept a powerful supercell just southeast of Wichita. This is the view looking west.


Looking a little more to the right...


...and now looking northwest. My new Pentax Digital SLR allows me to capture decent photos in the low light conditions underneath a supercell at dusk.


View to the northeast, a dramatic end to a busy season of storms.
