Let's put my photos of the above anvil cirrus plume in motion, and compare it to both an example of a hydraulic jump in a river, and to a fantastic simulation from Dr. Leigh Orf. I reached out to him and he confirmed it is likely what was captured! :) Simulation source: news.wisc.edu/scientists-g...

A cigar shaped tornado occludes out the back of the supercell while a new tornado tried to touch down over some bluffs. Just on the Nebraska side of the border, near La Grange, WY. 06-23-23

Twin tornadoes near the NE/WY border, one occluded out the back side of the storm and the second tucked into a new mesocyclone

Though line-mean midlevel shear is a bit lackluster, low level shear winds are backed almost perfectly perpendicular. This allows for efficient development of HSI vorticies which are able to be stretched by existing low level instability.

Time for a throwback to the first real “structure chase” of my career. Before this it was never something I even knew to look for, but now it is usually a high priority target. 5-16-21 Earth, TX #wxsky #wxbluesky #photography

A black and white photo of a very striated supercell structure below billowing towers of cotton looking cumulus. A skinny tornado throws up a dust cloud beneath a lowering on the storm. In the foreground farm fields are visible with rows of sprinklers and powerlines everywhere.

Blue sky pokes in at the top left of frame next to a UFO looking supercell structure. It has stacked areas of striations and its shape makes obvious that it is rotating in the upper winds. Above the structured portion towers of cumulus erupt skyward before billowing out as an anvil cloud. In the distance behind the storm a single lightning bolt strikes in front of some mammatus clouds. The foreground is a sliver of farmland with a few outbuildings and powerlines

Sunset ignites the cloud tops of the slowly shrinking supercell structure. Bright orange and deep purple highlight wisps and puffs in the anvil, an old occluded meso is slowly choked out by the cold air to the left of the main structure. The towering cumulus have shrunk slightly and the sculpted meso has hecome much more laminar. Even as it dies a single bolt comes out of the anvil and strikes the relatively desolate farmland below. A red building is evident in the right corner and some powerlines lead out of frame to the left.

The remnants of the updraft continue into blue hour. Stars and a meteor are evident above the anvil. The anvil is illuminated and slightly pink hued by lightning within it. A now much smaller single tower of cumulus continues to churn. A farmstead sits along a telephone pole lined road in its field.

Yeah the Aurora is about as cool as the night sky gets, until STEVE shows up and steals the show. I’ve only ever seen STEVE once but the show we got was INCREDIBLE. Shot with @sigmaphoto.bsky.social 14mm f/1.4 DG DN. #aurora #steve #astro #photography

A starry night sky with a tiny bit of green hue from airglow, through the middle of the frame green and pink ribbons of STEVE make a helical shape. While not technically aurora, its appearance and color in the sky look quite similar and it has only ever been viewed in conjunction with aurora activity.

A starry night sky and the top of the milky way with a tiny bit of green hue from airglow, through the middle of the frame green and pink ribbons of STEVE flow across the sky. While not technically aurora, its appearance and color in the sky look quite similar and it has only ever been viewed in conjunction with aurora activity.

A starry night sky and the top of the milky way with a tiny bit of green hue from airglow, through the middle of the frame a pink ribbon of STEVE flows across the sky above a green picket fence pattern. I’ve seen it mentioned a few places that the picket fence phenomenon is separate from steve which is separate from aurora, so this night featured 3 solar weather displays.

One of my all time favorite chases, this strong and slow moving, and meandering EF-3 tornado lasted 30min and took on many forms from a dusty wedge to a vertical stovepipe and this gnarly cone. 08-08-23, Yuma, Colorado.

Trends in a stronger ML dry slot has presented the potential for a localized tornado outbreak across KS tomorrow. Extreme Low level CAPE with strong shear and an tons of surface vorticity should present the potential for efficient tornado producers, I wouldn't rule out a few significant tornadoes.

Assuming we have any type of instability that evolves with this upcoming system, a backed QLCS orientation would likely set the stage for a high end tornado event reminiscent of the 12-15-21 event across NE/IA/MN
