Most Impressive Non-Impressive Storm

Thursday, June 28, 2018



A severe storm cell moving east in Franklin County in north central Iowa late in the afternoon on Monday, June 18, 2018 lost that designation just before 5:00 pm CDT. Because of that, it went largely unnoticed by me while at Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids until around 6:40 pm, when I turned around and beheld the beautiful anvil cloud vista seen in the panoramic image above at 6:44 pm. Despite its impressive structure, the cell--now located 28 miles to the northeast in Delaware County--remained non-severe. Collins Road NE is seen in the foreground.
