Burrito Soup Chase April 28

Plan “A” today is to watch the southern end of storm clusters and see if anything can organize.

Yesterday I was late for the first tornado in Texas, but got the slushy second one in thick coils of rain. (Thanks to my security cameras). ...

Expected Tornado Outbreak - April 27

Good Morning Patrons,

Lots of swinging emotions to process. I hope everyone is safe and we didn't lose any loved ones. Things are firing up early today and I'm out of range a bit in Central Kansas. I'm going to blast south into Oklahoma and...

Storm Chase April 26

Place your bets. A, B or C?

If I was more reckless I'd try a 2'fer starting with target A and blasting down to B. As of now I'm aiming at B.

Yesterday was a silly scramble through cold goobliglosh. There were some nice bolts and a 2...

Storm Chase April 25

Morning Chasers,

I’m currently targeting the warm front in NW Kansas. The warm front can be a double edged sword at times and I usually opt for the dryline, however conditional capping on the dry line and high confidence initiation on th...

Chase Today April 24 / Active week

It's that time. Like many of you I've been preparing for weeks of burrito bonanza chasing and I think I'm well prepared physically, technically and mentally. Today I'll be heading to the 2% in west Texas. the latest runs initiate storms well aft...

Stupud Chace - Aprel 16

Yesterday was a dud. Daniel and I were on the Texas cells at initiation. Lotta lightning activity for a few minutes and then plolplplp…

TODAY LOOKS AMAZING if you love driving for no reason and atrophy in your buttocks. I’m currently ta...

Storm Chase - April 15

I’ve been torn between the southern 5% target in Texas and the 10% SigTor target in Kansas all morning. As of now I’m choosing Texas / Abilene vicinity. I may make a mad dash north last second if the CAMS start to resolve daylight storms there...

STORM CHASE? APRIL 9 & Another Recent Event

I hope everyone had a good time yesterday. My cousin Spencer got clouded in in the Texas Hill Country but was amazed by the falling darkness and animal behavior. We raced clouds from 4:30 AM until 1:30PM finding clear blue skies in Arkansas just...

ECLIPSE CHASE 2024

It's time for the big celestial event. In the ensemble map above we can infer there will be a lot of cloud foiling and a lot of lucky sungazers. It is currently not looking good for most of Texas or New York. You Mainiacs are looking great. Arka...

Hey Gang,

Here's a new MV for "Soul Chaser." This hasn't been officially released yet but I want you guys to be the first to see it. I've been using bits of this song for years but finally got around to assembling them properly. Each movemen...

April Fools Chase Today

Above is an ensemble of CAMS reflectivity forecasts. I think there's solid enough agreement to put the current target near Vernon TX to Lawton OK. This is well south of the SPC 10% Sig Tor outlook attm.

Next Video likely Thursday

Above is the fatty fun cloud from Sunday's Oklahoma storm chase. Pretty weak instability, but an abundance of SRH had the storms spinning pretty good. It could have been more neato if it wasn't so lazy.

March 24 Storm Chase

Morning Chasers,

I’m currently targeting Woodward Ok keeping S KS and the rest of OK in play. HRRR currently suggesting to me most of KS is botched with poor dews, however SPC is still keeping it in play. Will get north and asses if time...

Soul Chaser Poster - High res file

Evening Patrons,

I'm debuting the poster art for my next single "Soul Chaser" here now. This was heavily inspired by "The Endless Summer" movie poster and old 60's n 70's Blues posters with the wonky colors. In the attachments below is yo...

March 14 Storm Chase

Good morning Patrons of the arts and sky.  Today I'll be chasing a complicated stormy scene around the Red River.  My morning forecast / location bias has me targeting North Texas (B), however the SPC isn't in agreement with that target ...

MARCH 7th & 8th STORM EVENTS (Today & Tomorrow)

To mess with our heads, the SPC snuck in a late 5% today at 11:20AM.  Running the numbers prior, I slated today as a waste of gas.  Could this be our first regret of the year? :D

The NAM seemed to resolve the last 2 or 3 events bet...

AFRICA report & The MIDWEST tonight

Looks like storms should pop in the Midwest in a few hours. SPC has issued a 10% Sig Tor around the Ohio River Valley. The NAM resolved supercells around Chicago. Could be a close to or after dark event. Stay safe those in the risk area. Stay ex...

Disaster Assistance Tips & South Africa

Hey Gang,

I chased the storms into Louisiana yesterday. My morning forecast suggested garbage however an AM tornado warning an hour away got me out the door quickly... To see garbage. Total dud event. Nobody down here is complaining.

Storm Chasing this weekend?

Good evening Patrons. Let’s figure out what we’re gonna do this weekend. Tomorrow the atmosphere may take a swing at some supercells. I’ll have a closer look in the morning, but the brown circle above is my current target at a glance.

Productivity Report / In Over My Head

Hello Everyone.

The South America trip footage is boiled down to just under 3 hours. After another many thousand little decisions, perhaps I can whittle it down to 20 minutes. Fun stuff!

Warm greetings Patrons,

Attached below is a high res download of the one supercell Scott Currens and I documented in Argentina last month. At this moment the tornado threat had diminished and storm outflow blew away its lowering.

Possible Chase Jan 8 (Elvis & Bowie’s Bday)

SPC is going bold with a 10% Sig-Tor in LA and beyond tomorrow. To chase, I’ll need to see surface temperatures warming more than what the models are currently projecting… something the SPC suggested is plausible.

Supercell in Argentina!

Top of the 9th and we finally scored a supercell! Muchos props to Scott for forecasting this event while I stared out a window. For a moment it looked like it could tornado, however the crescendo was a much needed lightning show.

DEPARTING ...

Dec 11 - 13 Argentina

We’ve been blazing a trail all over the Northern half of this country. Two days ago we scored a distant lightning storm but tall trees and very limited roads prevented fantastic captures. We should be able to shoe-horn in 2 more chases before de...
