*On the Road Again*

Storm Chase 2009

We left the breathtaking Rocky Mountains and headed to the serene surroundings of Wyoming and Nebraska.  We may have been traveling, but we were still learning.  We saw virga in Cheyenne, WY as well as Alliance, NE.  It was an extremely unique sight.  Virga is when precipitation is evaporating before it hits the ground.  The evaporation is a cooling process (cold air sinks), causing faster winds to be felt at the surface.
