Fall severe weather season ramping up

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

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.

As we move into October, the 'fall storm season' in the USA is beginning to bring a few events to watch. A series of progressive upper troughing scenarios is taking shape, the first of which affected our region in the past couple of days. By the end of the week, we'll have another shot at some decent storms here as the next trough in the train arrives. The NAM model shows the next trough sweeping across the nation's midsection on Thursday, on course to arrive here by the weekend after bringing a severe weather threat to the Plains states:


NAM 500mb pattern for Thursday

Instability is not very impressive, but it usually doesn't need to be this time of year:


NAM CAPE (instability) for Thursday

Not unlike spring, models have trouble with the details during the dynamic (rapidly changing) fall season, so it's not of much use to try to nail down specifics until a day or two before an expected event.
