We repositioned to Bridgeport to fill the cars up with Petrol and have a Toilet break, in the time we did this and drove out south from the garage forecourt the sight to our west made us all gasp, one of the scottsbluff storms had turned into a stunning little LP Spaceship and went severe at the same time after hitting an outflow boundary. Moisture was also increasing with low 50's now being recorded locally, things were certainly looking up now. There were 3 cells lined up now, you can see the 2nd Identical LP In the picture below, but my attentions were turned to the best looking cell of the lot 3rd in line which already looked like a Classic Supercell from some way off.
I then drove us another 20 miles or so south to be just north of Kimball and await the Supercells approach, now it was Nebraska's turn to show off with some great structure. We watched this storm approach for the next 90 minutes whilst this was happening our original LP Storm had now hit the SW-NE Boundary further east and now gone tornado warned. Our decision now was to split the two Supercells along I80 And shoot lightning in the darkness before headng to Ogallalla for the night. All in all a great days chasing which delivered some great storms.
