Strong Storms On May 28

Strong, but not quite severe storms blew through Eastern Iowa on Saturday afternoon, May 28, 2016. Some cells exhibited flat, lowered bases and formed mini funnels or scud at the center of the lowerings. Above, the image looks northwest on North Alburnett Road (W58) at its intersection with Paris Road (D66) at 2:26 pm CDT.

Same cell, different perspective. This image looks northwest at 2:28 pm from Hitaga Road at Paris Road (D66), about 4.2 miles southeast of Troy Mills, Iowa. The nearer lowering is located about 10 miles distant, just south of Quasqueton, Iowa; the farther lowering about 19 miles away, near the junction of US Highway 20 and Highway 150 at Rowley, Iowa.

Located on Paris Road (D66) at Troy Mills Road and 3.5 miles south of Troy Mills at 2:54 pm, a wall cloud-like lowering is shown suspended low over the landscape to the northwest. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
