Quite often watch Reed's videos but with the sound turned off.

Some people dislike Reed Timmer but we get to see some amazing storm footage from him.

Weed Trimmer err Reed Timmer & I have a checkered past going back 10 (or more) years. Hard to hate the guy, he's so passionate, but yeah I'd prefer him to tone it down a bit at times. In saying that I did get a photo with him again at NSCS earlier in the year. Will hopefully see him & many other friends over there in the next couple of weeks (If the Airport stays open & roads to it).

MaryAnns new truck got christened by hail yesterday.

Another interesting day coming down from Illinois. Driving down through Missouri we were checking out cells & core punched one on the interstate. Minutes later we were chasing it as it went tornado warned. Todays video follows:



We are near Wichita presently, heading for Western Kansas or Eastern Colorado for tomorrows action.

What dates are you chasing Neil? Couldn't make it this year, No 2 on the way.

Only from Sat 13th to Sun 28th May. Only a couple of days left before the trek North.

I notice the Artic Oscillation index goes negative in June, those still chasing in June may see an improving upper level pattern.

Some pretty photogenic storms in New Mexico yesterday with a tonne of lightning

[David]

Amazingly green hail core as well

[tgsnoopy]

Our chasing concluded on Thu 25th. I'm back in NZ now.

With 850hpa temps of 37-38C over southern Californian and western Arizona places like Las Vegas are on track this weekend to beat their all-time record of 47C and Death Valley has been forecast to hit 54C on the weekend so depending on whether you believe their 56.7C recording in 1913 this could also be their hottest ever temp which would mean a world record as well!

[Bradley]

NOAA now forecasting 55C for Death Valley on Sunday!!

[Richard]

Even those overnight lows are insane

I wonder if people dress up in thick trousers, warm wooly jumpers and heavy overcoats and woolly hats and go for a trek in the desert in these temperatures? ....as opposed to people who go for a mid-winter's swim in freezing water like they do here in New Zealand?

Thick trousers, warm wooly jumpers and heavy overcoats and woolly hats and go for a trek in the desert in these temperatures will kill ya, mid-winter's swimming turning ya into a tough bastard.

One very close tornado
