Don't Breathe. Don't Look Back. Go for a ride you'll never forget.

About Me

Check Out My Website! A regular guy from a smaller town in Minnesota with a huge passion for the weather. I am a professional storm chaser and chase for a major station in the Minneapolis metro area (yes, I have a real job also). My love for the weather started out doing this with my dad as a hobby back in the 70's and took off from there. Feel free to ask questions, add me as a friend, or tell me your best weather story! Thanks for stopping by and come back again!..

You are best known for: your wrath

Thoughts on Wednesday's big hype event

I'm not expecting much.  Unless there is a massive cooling of the mid levels of the atmosphere late tomorrow afternoon, not much is going to happen.  The cap is going to win this one until ...

Add state 9 for the week...this sucked

Should have known better as the meso-eta soundings showed the cap as being stronger than heck and the mid level winds were pretty weak.  Beau, Eric, Joel and I ventured into central North Dakota...
