Back to the High Plains: May 7

It was back on the road for May 7th for the first High Plains storm chase of May. The prior day was a travel day from Georgia to Kansas, putting me into great position to start the chase with a target in eastern Colorado.

The afternoon began with plenty of photogenic structure opportunities with severe thunderstorms in the area. One challenge was a lack of cell service, so I heavily relied upon observations from the ground and warning statements broadcast on weather radio.

By late afternoon, with storms moving north into far northeastern Colorado, I made a decision to drop east-southeast into Kansas for the potential of additional supercell thunderstorms into the evening.

I was not disappointed as I witnessed multiple supercells into the night with towering structure and vivid lightning.
