This pic is a good reminder that you can be struck 10 mins before and 10 mins after a thunderstorm passes.

Thanks, Aaron Bennett for this pic!

Monday April 28th, 2025 is looking like a possible local chase here in southern Minnesota. As a strong midlevel jet, heating from a warm front, and moisture being drawn up from the Gulf fueling possible severe weather, the SPC or (Storm Prediction Center) has a issued a 15% risk of all hazards of severe weather. Tuesday April 29th, 2025, storms could coutinue, but as forecast uncertainty remains no risks have been put out for Tuesday. I will be closely monitoring this outlook of severe weather, and I will also be monitoring which way the models trend. Stay tuned for more updates on this severe weather outlook.

Today is April 22nd, 2025....

We have a slight risk of severe weather in the southern and central plains mainly for this afternoon and evening. Threats may include large hail, severe wind gusts, and a mix of supercells and multi-cells may develop as well. Instability will increase during the day due to heating and gulf moisture. Wind shear will be modest but adequate for updraft organization. Storms could become scattered but strong, especially in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles and the surrounding areas.
Out in the southeast to the Carolinas a weak stationary front will linger across the southeast. Storm organization will be limited, but some areas especially Alabama to northern Georgia could see isolated damaging winds and marginally severe hail.

Our personally witnessed (either video or visually with the eye) tornado count this year is currently sitting at luck number 13!

By far the craziest chase season to date with peak season near!

Check out some of these photos! Most of the tornados we’ve intercepted this season took place down in Dixie.

This was the same hail core that pounded the Ravinator window shield yesterday. This would have been before we got pounded!

This picture was taken tonight on I-29 looking northwest to the Fort Calhoun, Nebraska area. Nice rope funnel did touch down briefly and after that we had the Ravinator window blown out with 3.5 inch hail!

What a great day to be chasing!

I recommend anyone near Waseca and to the south to keep an eye on the weather. Nasty storm coming in with strong winds and some hail.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this line squeezes out a tornado someplace but likely an embedded QLCS tornado aka hard to see.

Me and Kryptonite Weather are in line to intercept storms firing southwest of our location in Freemont, Nebraska! We will be live soon on the Tornado Cowboys on Facebook!

Yesterday the Ohio River crested to the highest level seen in 28 years (1997). Lifted right up against The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
