🚨 First Severe Weather of 2026? 🚨

The GFS model (along with GEFS ensemble and machine learning) is showing the potential for a strong trough to move through the southern U.S. sometime between the January 8-10th time frame. Still far enough out that this could end up not occurring but worth watching over the coming days. Specific details will be ironed out with time.

If this did play out as shown, severe weather would be expected. Watching this closely! 👀⛈️🌪️

Since there are lots of new followers here on the page, I thought I would introduce myself.

I’m a weather nerd at heart. I wouldn’t say there was one pivotal weather event growing up that sparked my love for weather, but for as long as I can remember I’ve loved storms and weather. From standing outside on the porch when a storm was hitting to watching the weather channel often as a kid, I’ve always been drawn to weather.

Growing up in central Texas, we lived so far out of town that we didn’t have access to high speed internet and only dial up for the logged time. We would go into town to the library so my sister and brother could check out books, and I would reserve a computer and spend the whole time watching the latest tornado videos on tornadovideos.net.

I’m 31 years old, and I call Frisco, TX in DFW home. Severe weather is my true love, but my full-time career is in the investment management industry. I love sports, and I root for the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Saints, and Texas Longhorns. I enjoy playing basketball and I’m a non-recovering pickleball addict.

While I like supercell storms, hail, lightning, dust storms, occasional winter weather, and hurricanes, my true love is TORNADOES. A year or so ago my friend and fellow storm chaser Chad Casey said, “You’re a tornado snob.” That’s so true! I love the thrill, awe, and danger of tornadoes, and there’s not much that compares to being up close to a strong tornado.

I live here in North Texas, but I travel all over the U.S. on the hunt for extreme weather. I’ve seen tornadoes Texas to North Dakota and Mississippi to Wyoming.

I look forward to sharing more adventures with weather with you all. The best is yet to come!

Thanks 2025!

June 20, 2025 comes in as the #1 chase of 2025…and my greatest chase of ALL-TIME!

DFW to North Dakota is just a little Sunday drive, no big deal. Actually I drove even more. There were significant questions if storms would even happen in eastern ND but highly likely in MT and out west. I started the day from Sioux Falls, SD and didn’t think storms would happen to the east. So I left early and drove 8 hours north and west to Yates, MT on I-90. I had never been to ND or NT so I stopped for a picture at the MT sign and then realized I had made a mistake and storms might go back east. So I jumped in the car and drove 3.5 hours back east the way I came and arrived in Jamestown, ND about 30 minutes after the first storm fired (honestly worked out great because I hate sitting and waiting). What happened next was the craziest evening and night of my life! 10 tornadoes from 8:45pm to almost midnight across southeastern ND, including the first EF-5 tornado in 12 years! After the tornadoes and search effort ended, I had to battle the most intense winds of my life on I-90 trying to get to Jamestown. These winds associated with the back side of the derecho and sting jet were nearly 100mph and knocking over trucks and taking out power. The winds were so strong it was pushing against my 4Runner so violently that it was triggering my crash avoidance sensor causing my car to brake and alarms to keep sounding. I arrived to Jamestown around 1:30 to no power and 12 miles of fuel left. I was stuck until noon to the next day when power came back and the gas pumps worked.

2. June 5th Morton, TX

June 5th was an insane day! I started the day in Amarillo, and there were two obvious targets. One was up in SE CO into western KS and the other one was along an outflow boundary west of Lubbock into eastern NM. I was almost out the door and headed north into CO but just couldn’t ignore that outflow boundary baking in the west TX sun. I headed south to Lubbock and then southwest from there. I then went west into NM to around Dora and was one of the first to be on the storm of the day there. What followed was a dominant supercell, 10+ tornadoes, a giant dusty wedge around Morton (AGAIN), and a storm that tracked right into Lubbock around dark.

3. May 18th Grinnell, KS

May 18th had all the signs of a big tornado day. I woke up in Woodward, OK and it was some of the thickest fog I’ve ever seen. Even by late morning the fog and clouds were still present and I was sitting in the target area. I grew more and more concerned that the day might be ruined there. While I was determining what to do and killing time, it seemed like every chaser and their mom was in southern KS or NW OK, and any storm that did manage to go would have 10,000 people on it. I said screw it and blasted north northwest into KS and headed for my secondary target up towards Garden City to I-70. BOY DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. I ended up on a tornado warned supercell that first produced a large wedge tornado before roping out across I-70 and striking the west side of Grinnell, KS. I was on back roads, nearly getting stuck, for more than 30 minutes just tracking along with the tornado, as close as about 100-150 yards at times.

4. June 7th Amistad, New Mexico

June 7th didn’t seem like a good day at all. I stayed in Amarillo until early afternoon thinking that the next day was the real show but decided to head up towards Clayton, NM for a storm or two. Early on a few nice supercells, nice downbursts, hail, and some lightning. After tracking that storm south across eastern NM, another storm to our northwest went tornado warned with no roads to it. We waiting and then drifted west to get a view of it and wait for it to arrive. What happened the next 2-3 hours was the show of a lifetime with the most amazing structure/color combination in a supercell I’ve ever seen. Since I’m a tornado snob, the only thing that would’ve made it better was a tornado from it, but even still, it comes in at #4 on the year for 2025!

It’s currently 79° here in DFW on December 27th! THIS IS NUTS!How warm is it where you are today?

5. March 15th Hot Coffee, MS

While I missed out on the tornadoes the night before (bad forecast on my part), March 15th in Mississippi was a big day and I finally made the right call in Dixie Alley by going south and intercepting two tornadoes, the first near Hot Coffee, MS (that’s a real town)! I finally conquered Dixie Alley and saw my first MS tornadoes.
