Late morning storm develops near Alliance, Nebraska. This races north into South Dakota while I decide to stay in the Nebraska panhandle and let the storms come to me.

Strong storm approaches from the south but soon becomes outflow-dominant.

June 3: Northeast Nebraska Storm
![](6-3-10a.jpg)
Thunderstorm develops near the South Dakota border, eighty miles west of Yankton. This cell soon weakens.

New storm strengthens slowly. Low CAPE and marginal shear will prevent a serious storm.

Cell approaches the Missouri River valley.

We find a remote road through the Yankton Indian Reservation, just north of the Missouri River, and stop to enjoy this view.

As the storm approaches us, two wall clouds form. Rotation is limited, however.

Outflow soon takes over, producing a scenic shelf cloud.
