Today I’m leaving the Colorado / New Mexico upslope target for the big CAPE / 5% tornado risk near Abilene TX. Each target has its plusses and many minuses regarding tornado photography, so flip a coin and enjoy.
Yesterday’s storms in CO to NM to TX had very little lightning activity ...

The HRRR and the Nam are actually in agreement that a long tracking supercell will track from SE Colorado toward the OK panhandle. Optimism is high for a beautiful storm or two in beautiful country.
Good luck today structure lovers.

Good morning Patrons,
Today I'm currently aiming at storm development near Dallas TX and following a cluster back home tonight. There's a target on the Red River NNE of Dallas that might have a smidgen of better tornado parameters, but not enough to warrant the extra smidgen of ...

Last I checked it looked like a cluster of storms might surge across Texas tomorrow. Conditions didn't look ideal for tornadoes, but perhaps the AM forecast will suggest something different. 50/50 I'll go. It could be an active week next week.

Heads appears to be clusters of storms with potential for supercells to emerge over a good road network plagued with flooding and road closures.
Tails appears to be pretty, discrete storms with very limiting roads. Once cells pass south of i10, it’s either a 1.5 out circle to the next vi...

Thought I posted my target early this morning. Apologies if you get this twice. Looks like the SPC got it. I’m on the scene. Good luck slump buster chasers!

My spaghetti outlook matched the SPC's pretty closely. Unfortunately its a rather big outlook. There could be a coin toss decision where one storm hits and one doesn't. Current plans are to head in the middle of the outlook and watch the sky.

Todays target appears to be repeat minus the death threats. I’m targeting the purple circle for some ...

Howdy everyone,
Hope you're all safe and sound and rested up enough to hang out. We got lots to talk about before the next round hits us. Set your alarm clocks and grab some snacks. See y'all tomorrow.

Yesterday routed me to the ugly side of this fatty near Oakland and Lyons Nebraska. Got lots of pretty scary footage that was more hurricane like than tornado. This is my tenth tornado of the year, all non-photogenic. We've all been working really hard for these torn...

Yesterday I was able to score some scenic storm footage with occasional swirly twirly bases, but no burritos. It’s been non stop driving, repositioning and driving this week and I haven’t had a moment to dump the footage. Once this storm binge is over, I look forward to revie...

After a lot of second guessing, I’m pulling the trigger on target C. Burning the candle on both ends and the middle… gotta run now if I’m gonna make it there in time.
Good luck road worn chasers!

Hello Everyone,
My current target today will be NE Colorado with some pointless second guessing about a possible target on the KS/NE border. The HRRR is saying "Rock n Roll," The NAM "elevator music."

I’ll be targeting the Whopping 2% tornado risk in TX today. Behind on time… gotta go!
Not much confidence in todays set-up producing a targetable burrito, but we should get a stormy cluster thing. Latest model runs appear to be funneling chasers into bottleneck city between Childress TX n Altus OK. I’m currently biting on that but keeping a very open mind to change targets with ...

There may be a small window for big storms to burrito today before being undercut by cold outflow. There also may be several windows bashed in by large hail stones. The current target couldn't appear more obvious and concentrated, west and southwest of Ft Worth. If current model...

Looks like a line of storms will push through Texas tonight. Current plan is to be well through DFW before 5PM traffic peaks and see what's what then.
YESTERDAY early afternoon I stopped in Wichita Kansas and deeply pondered driving 2.5 hours back to OKC for the wild tornado po...

The NAM and the HRRR are at odds concerning location of the dryline in Kansas and quality of moisture return there… the NAM being more bullish. Regardless, the heads 5% risk appears to be the best bet for thunderstorms. “Tails” is more conditional. You could score a lone supercell and torn...

Hey Gang,
Knocked a ton off the to-do list during our down time including new tires on the WindBreaker, new front wheel bearings and in the back I built a raised bed that now fits a full size spare tire. Chasing nervously on that donut spare after pops has been an annual ritual ...

Good morning Patrons,
Heads or Tails? North or South? I’ve chosen the northern target for the better chasing terrain (Minus the MS River) and what appears attm to be higher chances of daytime storm initiation.
A warm front surging north across IO & IL appears to be ...

Looks like we're all beginning west of DFW today. Cell motions 35-45 mph would be much more manageable, especially on a Sunday. I'd also like to add this should be that wacky Australian's first chase of the year in the US. Daniel if you're listening, I've got your lens filter and othe...
