June 12th 2008 Central Minnesota

A small bow echo made it's way out of South Dakota and somehow survived a lack of instability all the way into central Minnesota.

We positioned ourselves along the southern edge of the bow as it moved east between 50mph and 60 mph

The bow/gust front itself was not very impressive as it passed over but with tops below 30k feet and rapid clearing behind it, some nice photos ops were had.

One last shot as the line of severe storms moves off to the northeast.
