Dying Severe Thunderstorm on a Marginal Setup

Elgin, Oklahoma, United States

1 May, 2013

On a day that was a marginal setup at best, a couple severe storms were able to fire ahead of a cold front just north of Lawton. I was able to get on that severe storm shortly before it started to dissipate. The storm itself was not terribly impressive, but the low light behind the dying storm with the Wichita Mountains in the background was absolutely spectacular. It was very tricky light to take pictures, so the pictures don't do it much justice.
