March 2025 Storm Chasing Recap

On Saturday morning, I decided to forego chasing the messy-looking High Risk in the South and instead attend the Tri-State Tornado 100th Anniversary event put on by the Paducah National Weather Service office down in Murphysboro, IL. On the way home, I drove through some light stratiform rain that was so saturated with dirt from the Texas dust storm that my car looked almost like I'd just driven on a dirt road in the Plains! This was yet another effect from this powerhouse upper trough that brough two days of tornadoes to the Midwest and South.
