The monsoon game this year has been hit or miss, but at least I've been able to expand my ability to shoot lightning earlier in the day! #cowx #colorado #coloradosprings #weatherforecast #weather #lightning #photography #photographer #thunderstorm #monsoon #cowx

It was a pretty rough day for the folks down near Rye and Beulah in Colorado yesterday. Today more dry and windy conditions are expected, a rough day is going to turn into a rough week for some. Stay safe folks. #cowx #cofire #wildfire #pueblo #rye #colorado #breakingnews – at Colorado, USA

We're in for a dry week here in Colorado where the Aspen Acres fire went wild yesterday. As of this morning it has burned nearly 24k acres near Rye and Beulah. Here's my coverage. youtube.com/watch?app=deskto… #cowx #cofire

Last night's lightning-less storms over Colorado Springs were nothing but a sad trombone. #cowx

We are SO BACK! I finally got some twilight mountain bolts last night, June 24, 2026 on the Palmer Divide in Colorado. Catching that was like stepping into a warm hot tub after a long day. Just hit perfectly. #Lightning #cowx #colorado #coloradosprings #monument #denver

I thought Saturday's chase in Colorado was going to be a blue sky bust, then the heavens opened up in pity and gave me a beautiful updraft. Pawnee National Grassland, Colorado on June 20, 2026. #cowx #weather #colorado

This storm tried so hard to produce a tornado, sadly a danger noodle wasn't on the cards yesterday. Here's the tornado warned supercell that ripped along I-70 in Colorado yesterday on June 8, 2026. Bonus round on the way home with some lightning near hwy 24. #cowx #colorado

We weren't blessed with this structure all day, but I'll certainly take what we got! Storm around Peyton, Colorado. #cowx
