There is a lot of concern at the actions of these chasers...

NWS is concerned about them encouraging copycats into stronger tornados.

Really don't see what is the big deal here with this, I'm glad I keep out of the wider chaser community.

SPC are labelling todays event in SE USA a high risk. The term high risk is significant as it implies a tornado outbreak.

Gadsden, SC rode the roller coaster today on SPC Risks. 1am Moderate, 8am Enhanced, 11:30 am High, 3pm Moderate, 8pm Slight.

It went rain wrapped, last reports had it a mile wide. Daniel left pretty quickly as he did not like what it was doing. Have lost the other feed.

I think the pattern over the next couple of weeks will produce some spells of active weather.

That tornadic storm in Texas today would have been good to chase as it was slow moving. 7cm hail with it too.

Been watching streams all weekend, loved it. Goo to see Dan Shaw back chasing, his streams are so informative. Worth paying for this premium stuff.

Possibly a good system mid to late next week

something to watch, moisture return could be an issue.

Friday (Saturday our time) showing an amplifying short wave crossing southern plains. Looks like a mass of thunderstorms/flash flooding for Oklahoma. A tornado set up could emerge though.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sun 23/04/2017 09:08

Another big system later this week but early gfs indications are for a elevated storms/flash flooding along warm front and strong capping along the dry line.

Yeah I'll arrive just after it unfortunately.

Americans getting less advanced warning of tornadoes than in previous decade.

The longer range upper level pattern looks reasonably mobile with troughs moving through which is what you want to see if you are chasing first two weeks of May. The cold fronts sweeping the moisture back into the Gulf looks to be a problem at the moment but it is still April.

SPC had a Moderate risk (15% hatched) for tornadoes in Arkansas today and there were no reports.

The strong cold fronts seldom work out well for tornadoes because the cold air undercuts the boundary.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sat 29/04/2017 08:21

Thats a big system crossing the midwest next 3 days. Flash flooding/large hail potential with the storms.

Interestingly some late season snow expected over the high plains as well.

Need to be heading to airport in 15 mins. Fingers crossed the weather will be co-operative. Pleasant surprise that Willoughby will over for 6 weeks and is joined by two friends I met on the 2013 trip
