Talk about deviant! Check out the flying eagle in Cherry Co. Nebraska. A whopping 25 knots of wnw flow at 500mb there, but the storm is moving wsw, making up for it. That's what sucks about these events, they happen all the freaking time out there, but hell if you can see it coming. Chasing every setup with 25 knots of 500mb flow gets old fast.

23rd, not the 21st. Been a long few days, lol.

Storm in Cherry Co Appears to have reorganized and is again somewhat close to deserving another tornado warning, though the velocity scans aren't super crazy yet. Nice thing is its just North of one of the whole two Hwys in the State of Cherry Co, though I'm guessing no one is chasing it anyway.

Quite the evolution on that thing, going se now with that e to w motion in the precip to its ne. Guessing there's been some rather cool structure with that main area....especially the last hour, albeit dark.

Hey H - Is this a clip of what you were talking about? It took me a couple of days to nail down the times and find archived images, but I think this pretty much looks like what you described:

If the above link doesn't work, go to the main page: http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/radar/ then select 24 June 08 / End Time 0300 UTC / Loop Duration 2 hours / Click LNX for the radar site in North Central Nebraska. Hopefully that should work.

Thanks,
Mark

PS - That totally looks like a bird of prey flying through the air.
