Severe weather outbreak Tuesday
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. |
Update 5:37AM Monday: I was just awakened by lightning and thunder a few minutes ago from a weak storm passing over the house. Checking the radar, looks like some very active thunderstorms will be moving in at daybreak for some good photo ops. As for tomorrow's potential, the SPC has a moderate risk with very high severe probabilities from Mississippi to Kentucky. Could be a very interesting next couple of days.

6:51AM Sunday: Tuesday seems to be the weekday for this winter's severe weather events. We may be looking at a repeat performance of the January 29 wind event on this upcoming Tuesday, and possibly something much more significant. Models indicate that just like this last event, wind speeds look strong at all levels throughout the day Tuesday. The difference this time around is that the temperatures and dewpoints may be much higher, resulting in more instability (fuel) for strong storms. Temps in Charleston are expected to top 70F by midday!
Event potential looks fairly good with this system, but the nailing down a specific target area is way too early to call now. But, based on the latest model runs, I currently like southern Indiana as a combination of daylight storms, better terrain, just to the east of the low pressure track, decent deep-layer shear (turning with height), slightly backed surface winds and an easy drive from here in Charleston. Cloud cover (or the lack thereof), as with most winter severe weather events, will play a large role in tipping the scales on this being either another January 29 or a major tornado outbreak.
