Storm chaser; sometimes chased by storms

[Quincy Vagell @stormchaserQ]

One year ago today, I chased a secondary target in eastern New Mexico and documented a tornado in Floyd. I did not see a single storm chaser the entire chase. This is a comprehensive thread looking at the forecast, observations, tornado evolution and reasoning behind the target.

Awesome interaction around tornadogenesis

The way I interpret it (and I could be wrong), as the leftmover approached from the south, this forced rapid development of a discrete new updraft and tornadogenesis

@AdamLucioWX @landon_wx @Becca_Furnish Glad to read I wasn’t the only one who recharged on this storm today. Was a very peaceful and enjoyable chase

Saw it through the rain bands but holy shit I’ve never seen so many chasers at once.

[Jaden Pappenheim @PappenheimWx]

I would much rather miss a tornado because of my own bad judgment; picking the wrong target, being out of position, etc. But missing a tornado purely because of chaser convergence after doing everything right is by far the most aggravating and infuriating reality to deal with. Driving 25 mph down a dirt road just doesn’t cut it if you want to see tornadoes! Can’t wait for tomorrow to be worse!

[Lucas Adler @stormchaserIL]

@MikeOlbinski Looks amazing and very fluid. Definitely should catch some steam. This answers lots of chasers’ needs.

Won’t see me out chasing in Missouri anymore.
So goddamn hilly, I almost never caught up to a nearly stationary storm today 😂

[Cameron Nixon @CameronJNixon]

Yes.

About 10 waterspouts spotted yesterday off the coast of Tel Aviv

None well condensed unfortunately, as customary this season.

Tornado today right up the coastal cliff, north of Tel Aviv.

Interesting to note, there were many waterspouts on this storm, but this one formed over land. There was no visible water spray or funnel before that. Coastal cliff might’ve enhanced local helicity! True tornado here

According to ICON the active core (possibly warm!) of Byron should make landfall on Wednesday early morning

Lightning piercing through the mesocyclone yesterday near the border between Israel and Egypt

Very wild storm!
