VIS SAT Cloud Dispersal over NE 05-27-10

[Larry J. Kosch]

Thought it was interesting to see on the VIS SAT the cloud dispersal of a cluster of storms that came out of Northeast CO overnight. It finally died down near McCook NE and started this interesting cloud dispersal pattern shown in the attached photo.

Would this type of cloud dispersal be indicative of a former mega-cyclone or just a group of thunderstorms dying out together??

I'm living in Lincoln NE. It's really amazing that I can step outside and see the leading edges of this cloud dispersal overhead. That's close to 300 miles!

There were quite a few interesting things on sat today. I was noticing them while watching storms when I drove up to NE MD/SE PA for a few storms there. Hope I can find a good archive of the various parts.

-the swirl was one, but also saw some interesting outflow today. Traditional, but still interesting was the storms on the VA/NC boarder earlier.
