Chanhassen, Minnesota
Shelf Cloud
Tadd Parris

Was awoken this morning at 7:10am to a phone call.  I missed the call, but when I looked at the caller ID it said Bill Doms. Now this is not someone who calls me very often so I decided to get online and check the weather quick while I listened to the voice mail.  Saw a pretty decent return coming my way, and his voicemail only confirmed this by telling me a shelf cloud was on the way.   As quickly as I could I got to my Jeep and headed south.  The shelf was already overhead and moving quickly to the south.  I managed to get three images and Bill they were all worth it, thank you.

 

On Hwy 5 going west in Chanhassen.  Beautiful shelf with just moderate rain and some random lightning.

Audubon Rd and Hwy 5 with my last real good look at the shelf.
