Dual Shelf Clouds, Castellanus Waves, and Sunset‑Lit Storm Trains – July 3-4, 2026

#NebraskaWeather #OmahaStorm #ShelfCloud #LightningStorm #AtmosphericDynamics A wildly dynamic holiday‑weekend sky: dual shelf cloud outflow surges, triple‑layer directional chaos, castellanus waves, virga lenses, and sunset‑lit storm trains. Lightning ramps up overnight before asperitas ripple ahead of the next round. The period closes under glowing cirrus and drifting fireworks — a perfect study in severe outflow behavior, layered steering, castellanus formation, storm training, and high‑level cirrus evolution.
