Storm mode in northern Oklahoma later today may get messy, but a few supercells and possibly a tornado or two could occur. This threat may be maximized early in the convective cycle, but also with any storms that favorably interact with an outflow boundary in northeastern Oklahoma
Low contrast view of a tornado near Hubbell, NE at 7:09 p.m.
High precipitation supercell, Sweetwater, OK. 7:36 p.m.
Tornado warned high precipitation supercell NW of Sweetwater, OK, crossing over the state line from Texas. 7:25 p.m.
A few photos from last night’s storm chase in the Texas panhandle. Very thankful that @pezmanwx.bsky.social and Jen Grand were gracious enough to help me out with transportation. I am OK and back on the road today!
Final photo of the storm chase, supercell spinning away into the night. Kim, CO 8:22 p.m.
Supercell structure and horseshoe vortex over the canyons, north of Kim, CO 7:28 p.m.
Fowler, CO landspout tornado at 5:21 p.m. local time
Supercell time lapse, earlier this evening in northwestern Oklahoma #okwx @NWSNorman
Supercell structure near Garden City, MO this afternoon
Tornado warned supercell, earlier, near Rich Hill, MO. This storm, like others in west-central Missouri, showed some low-level rotation, but could not quite produce a tornado.
Everyone who follows me on Twitter needs to report my account and recent posts. I’ve been hacked. First the hacker started sending malicious DMs, but now they are flat out impersonating me. It is very upsetting. Support is not taking any of my reports seriously.
Wrapping up tonight’s storm chase with a vivid mammatus display over Newton, KS.
High precipitation (HP) supercell north of Hope, KS earlier. My Twitter was hacked, so I might only be on here for now on.
One year ago today, I chased this tornado near Kit Carson, CO. It had one of the more unique rope out phases I’ve witnessed.
Welcome to Montana. Supercell near Biddle, MT a short time ago.
Saw several ground-scraping wall clouds across northern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota today. Each photo is a different storm:
This was one of the most unique vantage points I’ve had of a tornado, in Beltrami Island State Forest last night. I watched this storm produce a few intermittent tornadoes in the secluded woods of northern Minnesota.
Alternate photos of the supercell that produced a few intermittent tornadoes between Grygla and Malcolm, MN. Between 7:21 and 7:34 PM. Found myself on a questionable road, standing on my car roof to see over the treeline. Got a car full of bugs too, but worth it! @NWSGrandForks
Earlier tornado and supercell structure in western Beltrami County, MN. This was at 7:34 pm in the woody marshlands, looking NW from near Malcolm, MN.
Big win for the eastern target storm chasers yesterday. Many factors/variables can make or break a storm chase. Risk tolerance, timing, logistics, personal biases, model preference, etc. Sometimes you’re right for the right reasons, wrong for the wrong reasons or anything in between.
Tornado-warned supercell thunderstorm near Reva, SD at 6:33 PM / 0033 UTC
18z subjective surface analysis. Very low confidence in convective evolution today with such a complex setup.
