stormdoctor > For whatever reason, the colors in this photo feel like the sun setting on the Wild West near Burlington, CO, on May 29, 2008.
stormdoctor > In retrospect, I believe that this likely is a cold funnel: a feature that forms when a cold upper level disturbance moves over warmer lower level warm updrafts. This storm never showed any rotation on radar, but the funnel was very distinct and visually the storm itself appeared to rotate for a short period before it literally fell apart in a 15 minute span. Very cool.
stormdoctor > The diamond in the rough chase: This LP rotating storm against the New Mexico plateau. Deep turquoise radiates on the north (right) end of the storm. Note the midlevel beaver tail to the right and the vibrant striations at all levels.

stormdoctor > Double RainbowTaken near Clovis, New Mexico in May, 2003.
stormdoctor > Back Shearing Sunset AnvilEvolution of the previous photo as the storm intensifies into a back-sheared anvil. Back shearing indicates the intensity of the storm: it explodes upward so rapidly that the top portion of the storm spreads in all directions as it hits the tropopause, even against the winds aloft.
stormdoctor > Sunset Over Tornado AlleyAfter storms had been churned up by the dryline, nearly clear skies oversee the fields recently damaged by hail the size of softballs. The sun sinks below a blue, clear sky.
