Storm Chase May 3rd & Yesterday's Tornadoes
Added 2024-05-03 15:40:55 +0000 UTCSuper fun chase yesterday with two tall burritos in the middle of nowhere not hurting anybody (I think).
Above was just outside Balinger Texas. Below was in metropolitan Melvin Texas...
I'd love to edit this footage and publish it, but Mother Nature doesn't seem to be giving us a break. This morning my forecast is in synch with the SPC's...
I don't think we'll get the boundary interactions today that set the storms off yesterday, but you never really know what's gonna make em pop.
Chasers, please keep in mind that these AM forecasts often change. May 1st was a prime example. The dryline retreated much further back than early models indicated so if time allows, definitely do more mesoanalysis and recheck surface observations after noon.
Good luck today Grinders!

I havenโt heard any bad news. Hope it stays that way.

2024-05-04 05:05:03 +0000 UTCGoogle maps foiled my pursuit, so I was never near the boomerang. Got a far away tornado after. Nighty night

2024-05-03 22:12:15 +0000 UTCThe tornado near Robert Lee is literally doing a U-turn.

2024-05-03 22:06:53 +0000 UTCThe radar signature of the Robert Lee storm reminds me a lot of that one in SW Oklahoma a few days ago. Seems to have occluded but not lost strength. Looks like a hurricane!!

2024-05-03 19:28:55 +0000 UTCGlad to hear that yโall are seeing some great activity and for the most part, humans have managed to be out of the way of the destructive forces. Prayers to those families whoโve suffered fatalities and injuries. I just wish these tornadoes would drop down away from populated areas, like the Nebraska ones did last season.
