While we won’t be without severe weather this week, we’re going to be quieter in a relative sense compared to what is coming. Most models are in agreement of a ‘Prime Time on the Plains’ pattern the week of June 10 -17 or so. But this week? Modest flow will keep the risks on the…

It’s going to be a day where storms form all at once across a broad region characterized by an environment favorable for severe weather. But the instant initiation of storms along multiple boundaries will likely lead to clustered/linear storm modes which will limit what would otherwise be a favorable environment for a couple/few tornadoes. The…

We’re live in New Mexico today where storms are expected to form and become supercells with tornadoes possible into the evening. Eventually storms will line out, but we’ll be on things until they do!

It’s another day and another supercell and tornado risk centered over…New Mexico.  Who knew the Land of Enchantment was also the land of storm chasing?  Today is going to be an interesting day across the Southern High Plains, with supercells and tornadoes possible. Large hail and damaging winds will be present as well. Generally, it’s…

Look, it doesn’t take a statistical study to convince many of us storm chasers that June has been largely MIA for a decade when it comes to major tornado events. But we did make a video about that. Historically, you could consider June a second May in many years. No, really! Courtesy: ustornadoes.com One of…

This continues to be a remarkably stale but productive pattern for severe weather over the Southern High Plains. Today’s axis of storm activity will shift a bit more north and west, but the story remains the same. Widespread storms will form over the region, a few will be supercells, and with those supercells extremely large…

I’m going to admit: it is getting very difficult to write these blogs because every day is basically the same forecast wise. Storms will form in an environment that is very close to being supercell and even tornado worthy, most should congeal into an MCS, and one or two storms may do something more interesting…

The next 7-10 days will be dominated with a lot of the same, with subtle subtropical flow underneath a ridge leading to just enough wind shear for a localized area or two for supercells. The tornado risk remains lower-end for now, but I suspect the threats for tornadoes will grow through the week. The Ridge…

Today is going to be yet another day with severe weather possible on the Plains, with supercells possible with large hail the primary threat. You can not rule out a tornado either, especially in the hours around sunset where the low-level shear will maximize with an increasing low-level jet. I’m watching an outflow boundary in…

On a day I wasn’t expecting much more than outflow-driven mush, a structured supercell felt like winning the Super Bowl. I shot this storm just south of White Deer, Texas.

If you watched our seasonal update video from a couple of weeks ago, this turn towards more ridging over the middle/western part of the country should not be surprising. Still, even in these patterns this time of year even the most subtle of flow setups can be interesting in terms of storm chasing. So with…

We filmed this very ominous appearing tornado near Cole, OK during the May 11, 2023 tornado event in Central Oklahoma. There is much more to come from this day!

At Tornado Titans, the more unique you are the more celebrated you are. You can determine if this is about people or storm chase setups — because today is a very unique setup that you don’t see come around very often. An upper level low is moving north, with 500mb flow out of the south….

It is…yet another day where severe weather will occur over broad swaths of the central U.S. There are two areas to talk about so let’s get to it. North Target Supercells with an attendant large hail and low tornado risk should take shape over Eastern Nebraska down into Northeast Kansas this afternoon. The SPC has…

We’re tracking an enhanced tornado threat in Southern Oklahoma. Join us for today’s live stream.

It’s going to be yet another day with big-time severe weather possible on the Plains and today is a true Prime Time on the Plains setup in every way. A very moist airmass is in place this morning, along with an approaching storm system — all of which should set the stage for rapid supercell…

An ongoing line of storms will continue to move south and east with damaging winds, large hail, and a tornado threat through the rest of the day in Kansas. Further west, more storms could form with a large hail and damaging winds threat later this afternoon. Overall, the severe weather threat is enhanced ahead of…

Here we go, it’s going to be yet another busy week on the Plains with severe weather chances daily at least into this weekend. Let’s take a look starting with tomorrow. Tuesday It looks like we’ll be seeing some severe weather out there tomorrow, with supercells possible — most likely in Kansas. 500mb flow tomorrow…

Storms are going to be explosive again today with giant hail, very damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado or two across Texas. Our current target is Central Texas once again. Join us for today’s live storm chase!

The busy week of severe weather continues today with what looks to be a near certain widespread severe weather event across North Texas into Southern Oklahoma. A rich low-level airmass along with just enough wind shear will combine to create an environment ripe for powerful storms this afternoon and evening. Let’s dive in. Rich low-level…

I can honestly admit a lot of uncertainty about today due to a great myriad of factors we are about to discuss, but a lot of the core ingredients we thought were going to be in place 24 hours ago are going to be less than expected. Still, there’s a severe weather threat today and…

Today looks a lot like yesterday in many ways but with better overall ingredients and likely lower storm coverage. This should result in a day with some severe storms and perhaps a couple of supercells with good structure. Another possibility is that storms grow upscale into small outflow driven clusters which could result in some…

Today is the start of what will be a very active stretch of severe weather on the Southern and Central Plains. Today’s risk is centered in West Texas, the Texas South Plains, and Eastern New Mexico. Damaging winds will be the main threat with storms as they grow more crowded through the day and consolidate…

This week is going to be…well. As a storm chaser I feel like it is going to be…hmmm. Simply put, it will be May. There will be storms to chase. But the ingredients over the week are lower end or storm coverage may be very low. In short: if you aren’t a storm chaser purposefully…

It seems like every day this week we’ve been talking about big time hailers in Texas and, well *points to the calendar*. Expect storms to form sometime just after 1:30 p.m. this afternoon with a large hail threat apparent from the first sprinkles from any storm tower. There is also going to be a localized…

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, days like today are the hardest to forecast because there is already so much ongoing that you really don’t even have a clear picture of what things will look like in four hours, much less eight. With that said, there’s officially an enhanced threat of severe storms today in…

Today isn’t a huge day on the surface, but a couple of supercells will likely merge with a growing cluster as a linear complex tonight and sweep south and east, possibly right across the DFW metroplex. Large hail will be the biggest threat initially, but damaging winds and a tornado or two could become threats…

I can honestly say that forecasting a series of setups like this week’s always comes with a lot of hand-wringing at the start. This is because what happens on Monday will affect Tuesday. And what happens Tuesday will affect Wednesday. And amidst all of that, there is just enough there for supercells capable of producing…

In this nearly 20-minute video, storm chaser Raychel Sanner takes a deep dive into the rest of the tornado season in Tornado Alley. The season got off to a fast and deadly start with tornadoes sweeping across the country in record-breaking numbers for the first three months of the year. However, April saw a much…

A rain wrapped but likely significant tornado impacted near Cole, OK. This storm also produced large, destructive hail.

Folks watching our live stream yesterday got a good glimpse of a brief tornado over the SE portions of the OKC metro. This brief tornado occurred near Tinker Air Force Base and lasted just a couple of minutes before dissipating. After this tornado we captured incredible sunset structure and then quickly bailed south for many…

The atmosphere is primed and ready for severe weather today, the question is, and may remain all day, will there be storms to take advantage of that atmosphere? An area expanding from Southeast Nebraska through Kansas and into Oklahoma and Texas will have a low to enhanced shot at severe weather today. There will likely…

A dryline will sharpen up a bit today as moisture screams northwards, setting the stage for a couple of storms to form along and ahead of it this afternoon. The best chance of storms firing is in Kansas, but a trailing risk extends all the way down to the Rio Grande in Texas. A compact…

This is a week that fills me with anticipation as a storm chaser but also I’m full of doubt as well. An active jet stream pattern will set the stage with several severe weather risks possible this next week, with the potential for a big day or two there as well. But it is also…

Large hail is a big threat today with the initial supercells across Arkansas and Missouri this afternoon before storms coalesce into a line towards evening. There is a low tornado risk as well. The Setup The system that touched off the high-based storms in Kansas yesterday continues to push east today, with a renewed shot…

It’s an actual dryline setup on the Southern Plains! But it is admittedly leaving me wanting for a bit more of everything ingredients wise. Still, if storms can go they will pose a severe weather threat with damaging winds (70mph+) and some hail (quarter-size to ping pongs most likely). A slight risk covers portions of…

This isn’t a mega storm chase day to be sure, but a few storms will form along a slow moving boundary with just enough wind shear to organize a few storms to produce some large hail this afternoon. This setup is somewhat similar to yesterday’s in terms of how storms are likely to evolve. This…

It has been an absolutely furious start to the year for the national tornado count. But as we always say: that doesn’t mean anything for the entire calendar year. The pattern for the Plains is very different than a pattern favorable for tornadoes in the Southeast and Midwest. In fact, there have been only a…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but there are two areas of significant tornado risk today, one across the Midwest and another in the South. The comparisons to last Friday’s setup are natural because we humans can’t help ourselves, but this setup is a completely different thing altogether. Let’s take a look. The Setup…

I don’t want to spend too much time on this forecast today because I don’t think the risk is very high and there’s no need to oversell it. But, if a supercell or two can get going, some big hail and a brief tornado are possible today in Texas. A dryline will set up across…

If there ever was a time for “that escalated quickly” in gif form, this day would probably be it. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined an enhanced area for severe storm activity today across Northern and Central Texas. Let’s take a look. Today’s SPC Outlook. The enhanced area includes the entire DFW metroplex. The Setup…

We’re officially at that point in the year where the atmosphere seemingly can reload for another go of it just a couple of days after a major event like yesterday’s. This time around, we’re expecting a very low chance of severe weather for any one location, but we’re likely to see a supercell or two…

There’s a significant risk of tornadoes today across a large portion of the Mississippi River Valley from Iowa down to Arkansas. Additionally, a significant risk of damaging winds also exists across portions of the Midwest. This is a dynamic storm system that is going to have impact across multiple states with the severe weather threat…

I’m writing this blog because I think it is always good practice to talk about when drylines set up but don’t fire robust storms. Tomorrow is one of those days (in all likelihood). If a storm were to fire in Kansas/Oklahoma/North Texas it would likely be a pretty tiny storm but might post a hail…

A pair of severe weather risks are on the way this week, with Thursday and Friday both outlooked by the Storm Prediction Center in Norman. Let’s take a look at both days with some quick-hit analysis. Upper level storm system hanging back on Thursday. Thursday An upper-level storm system will be coming ashore from Wednesday…

Tomorrow: A significant risk of tornadoes, with some strong tornadoes possible, exists across the South. The risk area is centered on Eastern Arkansas, Western Mississippi, and Northeast Louisiana. The extent of the tornado risk will depend on the storm mode tomorrow, but the environment will certainly support strong tornadoes tomorrow afternoon and evening. When: Storms…

There is a risk of a few severe hailers tomorrow across Oklahoma and Texas starting in the afternoon and lasting into the overnight hours. Storms should form along and behind a sagging cold front and move north and east quickly. The tornado risk currently looks very low with this setup, but it is not zero….

Storm chasing is often thought of as a pursuit of tornadoes and awe-inspiring storm structures, but what if success in storm chasing was something different? In this (hopefully) thought-provoking video, I challenge the traditional ideas of storm chasing success and delve into what it really means to be successful in this exhilarating hobby. Through my…

The Storm Prediction Center has had an area outlooked for a few days now across a broad portion of Oklahoma and Texas. With ample moisture and a strong jet stream overhead, it does appear that any storms that can form will be severe — but at this time the main threats do look to be…

Severe storms will form in the early-mid afternoon hours along a crashing cold front and will quickly move east. Most of the severe weather threat should be centered east of I-35 this afternoon and evening with damaging hail and wind gusts and a low tornado threat. The HRRR is the most bullish model on developing…

A risk of severe storms seems apparent tomorrow across Oklahoma and Texas (mainly the eastern half). Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with storms that may be ongoing as already as the morning, but a low tornado threat is also apparent. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0VEXkLgsu/ What we’re watching: There are several aspects to tomorrow’s setup that…
