Major tornado outbreak from Missouri to Wisconsin
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
The first severe weather outbreak of the year has turned out to be a very significant one, with strong, long-track tornadoes occuring across Missouri and Wisconsin. Unfortunately the tornadoes have already produced significant damage and claimed several lives. Remarkably, the outbreak is still continuing into this morning with a spate of tornado warnings in effect across Missouri at 5:00AM. Due to the distance away that this event occurred, I never really contemplated a chase - but as with all big events that I miss, I'm regretting that a little. While this system has been a powerful severe weather maker, it should lose steam rapidly as it approaches the Appalachians. I don't think there will be much left to warrant a chase into Kentucky and Indiana today, but I still think we may see a good round of lightning and thunder here later tonight. Our temperatures and dewpoints will be high enough to support at least weak thunderstorms when the front finally arrives after dark.

Flooding Thursday, snow possible next week
The models indicate a round of very heavy rain that may result in a potentially potent flood event across West Virginia on Thursday. HPC precip total forecasts are over two inches over the mountain counties, enough to cause flooding if it all falls within a short time. Later, the GFS model is showing the potential for a snow event around the Monday-Tuesday time frame. Snow or not, temperatures will return to much more seasonable levels after the main cold frontal passage tomorrow.
