Tomorrow is likely NOT a tornado day… I will just get that out of the way right now… yes, there probably will be a couple that sneak their way into the reports, but overall, I think tomorrow is likely gonna be a damaging wind and hail day.  Today, I wussed out; nothing about today was highly anticipated, and most of the better parameters shifted well north and east, and anything I was going to get on early evening was taking me the opposite direction I needed to go, so I threw a couple chips on some convection that tried to…

Good morning from Columbia, MO… packing up and loading up, bout ready to push myself back to the west a bit to set up for today; nothing high-end today, more along the lines of ‘since I am here’; a lowish-end, damaging wind cluster of storms expected to fire late afternoon/early evening across southeast Nebraska/southwest Iowa and push southeast into northwest Missouri.  How much effort I put in to today remains to be seen; today never was a major setup, and that hasn’t really changed.  But I am here, and was here by default, so we’re plotting for it either way.…

The May-a-Thon Adventure begins Friday… today I’ll be eastbound toward KC and that leaves me sitting pretty to kick things off tomorrow afternoon. Low-end setup with models back and forth on daytime development north of KC. Saturday begins the ramp up, with Sunday and Monday on paper the headliners. Busy stretch… but excited to be back at it.  See ya under a storm… if not Friday, then most likely Saturday haha

After a relatively quiet start to May, things are looking to pick back up.  SPC has already highlighted both weekend days, and it would not shock me to see additional outlooks starting as early as Friday and continuing well into next week.  I will likely deploy for the weekend setups, and once out, will remain out until a series of down days take hold.  The pattern is definitely shifting into active May mode, and thus we may be looking at a trip involving a laundry day haha Tomorrow is a car day… I took a rock to the windshield that’s…

I’ll refrain from posting this on social media, even as it would be easy clickbait… not sure I’m ready to reduce myself for that yet.  But my blog, I can do whatever I want.. Obviously this is NOT a forecast, this is NOT me saying “holy shit, snow is coming in two weeks”… this is me saying it’s 2026 and I would NOT be surprised in the least if we still had one more snow in the tank.  This far out, clearly I’m nowhere near excited to even think about the idea, but I just get a kick out of…

Saturday was a day I had on my radar for most of the week, mainly cause it was probably gonna offer up my only real chance to chase anything within a very quiet severe weather window.  Initially, I was eyeballing central Kansas, but as the day approached, the better setup started to shift further south into Oklahoma, and it just wasn’t anything I wanted to make that kind of effort for.  Briefly, I had considered the play as there was a Sunday play in north Texas, but both days looked like hail risks over anything particularly tornadic, and with me…
