Waiting for clarity
|
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. |
It is difficult to make sense of the past couple of model runs, which have not been as consistent as I'd like. The last couple of GFS runs place a compact and strengthening 500mb trough taking shape over the northern Plains on Tuesday and moving eastward. The position of the trough and attendant moisture at the surface suggest severe weather events as follows: Nebraska to North Dakota on Tuesday 29th, Iowa and Minnesota on Wednesday the 30th, Iowa and Wisconsin on Thursday the 31st, and northern Indiana and Ohio on June 1. After that, it looks generally unsettled across the eastern US, with severe storms a good possibility in spots every day.
Long-range models haven't changed much today for the Plains, still with no sign of a good western trough.
It's too early to nail down the specifics, but right now I'm leaning toward gearing up to chase whatever comes up next week, whether it is in Illinois, Ohio, New York or North Carolina.
