AMAZING lightning photo from Dick McGowan! and,Severe weather possible over the northern Plains!
         



Dick McGowan of TornadoLive captured this INCREDIBLE lightning photo early this morning near Lawrence, KS!  Notice the moon under the base of that updraft, as well as the lightning's reflection all the way to shore!


 





Check out more of Dick's work at his website, http://stackedplates.blogspot.com/


Severe weather is possible today for parts of South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. With temperatures in the central and northern Plains near 90 degrees and marginal dewpoints, storms that do fire will be insanely high-based, but sufficient wind shear does exist for supercells. Chasers who venture out today are sure to see some great structure with any storms that form this afternoon! We will be streaming so be sure to follow along on the LIVE video tab!

Very nice lightning - perhaps more unique than anything as they say with the moon in the lower section.

And yes, finally the Plains is to get hit by severe weather and south west flow! For those still out there, it may be just the start they need.
