06/05/07 REPORTS: CO, KS, NE

[Tony Laubach]

I think most of us were disappointed with the weak show put on here in Colorado today. Fortunately for me, it was on my way out for tomorrow, thus it was just a longer drive than normal to reach my current stop in Ogallala.

None-the-less, did see a couple storms go up, including a good lightning producer which I followed along side from Brush to Sterling where I elected to stop at the rest stop and blow through 157 two-to-three second exposures in an attempt to nail some lightning before sunset knowing this storm likely will not last after dark. I managed two shots of those 157... thank God for digital...

Targeted NE Colorado today not expecting much at all, but decided to go anyway. We arrived in Sterling and had dinner and when we came out saw a cell developing west of town. The storm was high-based, but had a nice rounded base, multiple inflow bands, and it was very electrified. Here are some pics my dad took.
