Severe storms developed across the Nebraska Panhandle Thursday evening along a dryline and BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was on hand to document them. The storm featured in this video package dropped hail up to golf-ball size near the town of Minatare. The storm was an LP supercell that moved northeast to the south and east of Scottsbluff, NE.

Video package opens up with storm cloud shots as the storm got going. Video transitions to shots beneath the storm’s core as it dumps copious amounts of 1-inch hail which prompted the severe warning. Various shots of hail falling in nearby drainage ditches and on the highways south of Scottsbluff, NE. Final shots of the amazing structure of the storm before sunset as the storm moved east of Scottsbluff, NE.

Extreme fire danger in Colorado today was creating very favorable conditions for the development and spreading of wildfires in the mountains and along the Front Range. BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was covering the Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches that have been posted because of the extremely dry conditions. The fires start easily due to the dry conditions and the fire featured in this video package, likely started by someone throwing a cigarette butt out of their window.

The fire started at roughly 12:15pm and was contained by 12:50pm; we arrived on-scene at 12:25pm and reported the fire to 9-1-1 with crews arriving at approximately 12:35pm. Video package shot in the center median of I-25 in Larimer County, Colorado near Mile Marker 290 north of Wellington (south of Carr exit). The fire ultimately burned just under a quarter mile long path of brush in the center median. No damage or injuries were reported with this fire.

Video package opens up with gusty winds pushing tall, fast moving flames north along I-25 through the dry brush in the interstate median. Various other clips of the fire as it burns between the interstate with passing traffic driving by. Also included is a shot of northbound traffic with the heat from the flames blurring out the cars. Midway through, a fire fighter arrives and starts spraying a mix of water and flame retardant on the flames to quickly put the fire out. One of the fire fighters gets out and starts covering hot spots with dirt using a shovel. Fire is quickly put out by the truck and 2-man crew.
