I've been asked by a few viewers to detail what I use to forecast/target when actively storm chasing, so here's a vlog-style video that does just that. In this video, I take you through my thought process before and during a storm chase back on February 15, 2023, in southern Oklahoma. After initially targeting the Marietta, OK, area, storms intensified after dark, and I ended up on a tornado-warned supercell that produced incredible lightning and structure from Davis to Ada.

I'm new to this and intercepted my first tornado between Monett Missouri and Aurora Missouri yesterday afternoon. It was amazing to watch and experience. I did it only with the RadarScope app and nothing else. I made a risky decision and stayed just to the south side of Aurora. I saw the funnel cloud and even the slight vortex crossing the road. I monitored the storms for hours while at work to make the best guess I could possible and it was going to be close because I took off from Springfield Missouri and headed west south west where the anvil of the storm was mostly. When I got to Aurora, I found a good spot and watched it go through. What a show it was and even ran into other storm chasers.

Looks like a typical N Indiana / S Michigan supercell. Sometimes some cool structures if you wait for the lightning, but its usually messy, elevated, and after dark. Lots of scud hanging on the ground that looks like a tornado but isn’t. The bolts were definitely nice and frequent with this cell.

I just want to say thanks for all you do man! My passion for chasing runs deep and my severe weather forecasting abilities have improved dramatically since I've started watching you. I had a great year in 2021 but I still felt something was missing and I made the decision to step back and relearn everything, especially after barely missing the Mayfield tornado. I ended up in the forward flank of that storm with debris raining down everywhere and I was not about to cross the path of such a strong tornado moving at that speed. So basically, I was late on the storm and it ate me alive that I missed seeing such a historic tornado by just a few miles and I felt the need to use 2022 as much as I could to not make that mistake again. After stumbling upon your channel, and learning more than I ever did before, I'm certain I'll be chasing down a ton of tornadoes in the coming years starting this year. So for that I just want to say thank you!

Thank you! So awesome to hear that; really happy that the videos have been helpful for you! I’ve been there with you as far as Mayfield goes; missing big tornadoes is so disappointing, but those misses are great learning tools to use to avoid those same mistakes in the future. I missed the Chapman, KS tornado (5-25-16) because of forecasting laziness…I learned a valuable lesson not to do that again!

I still have plenty more to learn but much closer to where I want to be now than before I started watching you and the hodograph master Cameron Nixon. Sorry to hear about the Chapman miss. Those are the ones we never forget but also make us appreciate the successful ones that much more. I had another miss which was the Rochelle/Fairdale IL EF4. Chose to chase another cell down the cold front and that's where I learned of Illinois and it's thing for warm front tornadoes.

@@ConvectiveChronicles Oh...I've been wanting to ask a fellow weather nerd how they feel about rating naders on the damage instead of any radar estimated wind speeds. It seems really narrow-minded, in my opinion. Not all tornado's are going to hit structures and a splintered tree is much like another. Seems very population -centric, almost snobby. I suppose as a dirt road, rural living person, I find it almost insulting. LOL El Reno 2013 is an excellent example. There's no way that thing was "just" an EF 3. Ridiculous.
@ConvectiveChronicles
@ConvectiveChronicles Жыл бұрын
I think there does need to be some provision in the EF Scale to account for radar measurements when available. Rating by damage is the best way to do things, but when mobile radar data is available, surveyors should be able to use it. El Reno is a great example…didn’t hit much but mobile radar measured winds near 300 mph, so it should be an EF5. They are looking into amending the EF Scale to include mobile radar measurements, which would be great.

Glad I am not the only one that still will glance at the HRRR off and on while waiting to see consistency even with the real time data there. My friends hate when I do that chasing when we group chase the week are out there in June and only mostly stick to the real data but I like checking everything. :P There was some solid lightning on that after your 20 min mark in this video. Hehe I likely would have kept on filming even as the line kept moving by cause nice backside anvil lightning can be great....but that's only cause I only get out there 7-10 days a year. ;) You don't see that really much here in the Albany and Northeast area except on the rare times a year you get a supercell ahead of the cold fronts we get. I tell people often that chasing in the Northeast is really simple in a way...go to a spot and hope for the best cause you have literally 0 chance to move after something moves by unless you are on I-90 and can blast East (though I cap going past Exit 12 on I-90 when in Albany, not paying tolls on a cold front set up). Though last couple years I have gotten lucky on set ups that have trailing cold fronts like / where I can be in Saratoga and on the Lake there and head back to my top chase location in Albany near home too and beat the line back to Albany and maybe get ahead East on I-90 to get the line and shelf cloud a final time. Those unaware, chasing in the Northeast in Upstate NY is basically shelf cloud magic and I love it a lot. I know for most chasers, especially one that live anywhere outside where I live, shelf clouds usually seem like shit and not worthy but I'll take anything cause it's weather and our storms and set ups are like once every 2-4 weeks we get good stuff and our main chase season up here is like Late July into Mid-September. Very short window. Early Spring storms like April-June are not common and usually are more near the Binghamton area and I don't bother chasing that far from Albany. I have a golden rule of thumb compared to like most of the Northeast chasers here and I don't chase outside of 1 hour from Albany. Only on the top set ups or near end of the season like September when it winds down will I go like 2 but that's it. Gas and also just the shear amount of good spots are tricky outside of the 18 locations I have charted down on Excel and been to before N/W/S/E around the Albany area. BUT majority of the time I don't have to go much past Albany itself cause the spots I have here are perfect and face SW to NW and what I need usually. Again most of the time it's lines we get and I have a solid location 5 mins from home that thankfully no one ever goes to for many many years now so I got it all to myself and it's great. We'll be out there in Early June once again but we'll see how the season goes....for now...snow up here.

I definitely look at the HRRR mainly for comedy's sake, since it always seems to dash hopes around midday the day of a chase and then wobble back and forth until the setup. I definitely don't make any decisions based off of it, but it's more just to quench my curiosity. Hope the weather is in an active stretch for you during your June trip!

Thank you for watching! "Laminar" just means that the feature is smooth, without a lot of texture. For example, a surface-based storm will often have a blocky, textured wall cloud, whereas an elevated storm will have a very smooth, laminar base/leading edge. Generally, it means the storm is dealing with some stability issues.

I wish storm chasing would pay the bills, but it just doesn’t. I’m not a fan of desk jobs, but I guess my dream job would be to work at the SPC.

Excellent video as always. How can you tell if lightning is positive or negative visually?
@ConvectiveChronicles
@ConvectiveChronicles Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Negative bolts are the vast majority of lightning bolts; you’ll see positive lightning bolts extending/arcing well away from the updraft.

I feel like mother nature is shy of showing her dangly bits so she throws hail, striaght line winds, and flooding at you. Thats what pecos hank says but honestly it would be nice If could chase with you in the ozarks or just a hike but honestly great video I do appreciate the effort you put into all your videos

Love the editing! It has an 80s or 90s vibe (the freeze frames) where the storm is actually modeling for you in some sort of photo shoot, hoping to land the cover of Nature Magazine, and making it to the Big Time! All we’re missing a ski race down the mountain with you beating out the rich, arrogant jerk and getting the girl, which ends up not being the jerks girlfriend but actually your close childhood friend who, unbeknownst to you, has secretly liked you for years. LOL, I’ve officially lost my mind. Great chase buddy, stay golden…
