Welcome to Montana. Supercell near Biddle, MT a short time ago.
Goodnight, Iowa
Saw several ground-scraping wall clouds across northern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota today. Each photo is a different storm:
This was one of the most unique vantage points Iβve had of a tornado, in Beltrami Island State Forest last night. I watched this storm produce a few intermittent tornadoes in the secluded woods of northern Minnesota.
Alternate photos of the supercell that produced a few intermittent tornadoes between Grygla and Malcolm, MN. Between 7:21 and 7:34 PM. Found myself on a questionable road, standing on my car roof to see over the treeline. Got a car full of bugs too, but worth it! @NWSGrandForks
Earlier tornado and supercell structure in western Beltrami County, MN. This was at 7:34 pm in the woody marshlands, looking NW from near Malcolm, MN.
Big win for the eastern target storm chasers yesterday. Many factors/variables can make or break a storm chase. Risk tolerance, timing, logistics, personal biases, model preference, etc. Sometimes youβre right for the right reasons, wrong for the wrong reasons or anything in between.
Tornado-warned supercell thunderstorm near Reva, SD at 6:33 PM / 0033 UTC
I wouldnβt be surprised if one cell tries to go up right before sunset, but a little too risky of a chase play for me
18z subjective surface analysis. Very low confidence in convective evolution today with such a complex setup.
Those low level lapse rates are awfully low, going to have to do better than that. Such a low confidence forecast
End of the road for this supercell storm chase in southwestern North Dakota
Earlier tornado SW of Dickinson, ND at 6:18 p.m.
Supercell thunderstorm on the horizon
Last nightβs supercell near Strong City, OK, finally got around to editing the camera photos:
Supercell at sunset, looking north from Strong City, OK. 8:42 p.m.
Will be monitoring an effective warm front/modifying outflow boundary across northwestern Oklahoma today for possible storm development. CAMs have verified too aggressive thus far with northward progress.
A supercell thunderstorm near Harrah, Oklahoma.
Followed this grungy, tornado-warned supercell on the east side of the OKC metro area this afternoon. It never fully wrapped up, but had some gnarly structure. Near Harrah, OK:
The final moments of Sundayβs night tornado in Floyd, NM, as it roped out. An expansive bowl of dust lingered near the ground for several minutes after the visible circulation had lifted.
