I'm just glad to have some experience chasing on lower risk days so that I'm not a total fool when the next high risk day arises

Happy that this thing looks like it's gonna roll through earlier in the day, instead of right after nightfall like they have a tendency to.

Honestly, I never considered Alek as mod but the more I think about it, the more I think he'd do a great job

Stebo all the way

If September can stay 70-80s, that would be neat provided it rains

Pardon my ignorance but what does "IR" mean with regard to hurricanes?

Choo chooing overhead

Storms out west look pretty nice

Unless you guys think that there's actually a chance those supercells stay supercells long enough for me to drive up there, which I doubt

I almost wanna chase but Jah knows those Nader warnings are a pipe dream

That's good to know, I need a pair of good hiking/outdoor stuff boots

Well, if anything that'll work better for me so I guess we'll see

Nice timbs

Idk, FSD and MPX don't seem that enthusiastic

Say less excited to SCP hawk the next few days. Definitely gonna do this one right if I do it at all

How are things looking out west for Saturday?

The little cell popping up a mile or two north of my house has produced quite a lot of lightning

If there's a profound Nader shot I'm taking it

Yeah, I'd love to go up but this chase would even make the last one look insignificant. It's doable but I'd have to leave early as hell and I'd make it back ridiculously late. If it's worth it though....

I messed up, there's a D4 out rn, not a D5 like I thought for whatever reason

Have we had a D5 15% severe threat yet?

Absolutely incredible weather this afternoon

In case anyone's interested, here are a couple horrible pictures that we managed to take . I'm pretty sure two distinct funnels are visible in the first picture. The entire thing presented more as like a mutli-vortex wall cloud that damn near just collapsed to the ground. Briefly, this condensation funnel emerged, but it lasted for literally less than fifteen seconds, and we were trying to get over a hill for a better view, hence why we couldn't get a halfway decent photo. In the second, equally low-resolution image, the entire base of the meso seems to be visible. It was quite the sight; my very first textbook supercell, and honestly, seeing the whole thing form was easily as exciting as the tornado itself. Unfortunately, I left my camera at home today, and the very rapid formation and movement of the wall cloud meant that there was basically nothing we could do to take decent pictures on our phones either until minutes after the wall cloud retracted again. T'was a good experience, but not one worth driving over 550 miles for. Granted half of that was picking someone up from Milwaukee. Didn't help that we left at like 12:30 either. We barely managed to get something worthwhile out of this trip. Dunno what I'd do if we would have gone out that far for nothing. Also, to the Wisconsin posters here... Wow. Your state is beautiful.

That sounds very familiar, my friend says he remembers one parked on the side of the road. Dunno if that was you though lol. Still cool to think about though

Quite likely, we were driving a gray 2003 Civic I have some low quality footage that I'll try to upload when I get home. Though the tornado only lasted for 10 seconds the supercell was incredibly picturesque.
