Another winter storm comes. After digging out from the first blast of lake effect, another round comes in tomorrow night and Thursday. Very strong winds accompany this.

6 years ago this evening near Beardstown, Illinois - one of ~5 tornadoes I observed during the December 1st, 2018 tornado outbreak - none more photogenic than this one.

The ultimate chasecation trip planner plot. Based on 2,000 documented Great Plains supercells and tornadoes since 1990, and sans inflation of multi-storm outbreaks, here's just the likelihood that each day gives you a storm:

A colorful supercell thunderstorm hovers directly over the road ahead. A lightning bolt strikes right over the road - its light reflects off of the wet pavement, illuminating the foreground, and reveals details in the cloud structure.

Dear storm chasers,

No one gives a shit about how many tornadoes you've seen.
