(Checks forecast/models): Wow, a 5% RISK DAY in Virginia, time to grab my gear and…

(Friday work stuff) Well, I’ll just take off a little early and drive down to…

(Remembers it’s a Friday afternoon in VA terrain/traffic): Nah, I think I’m good, if it wants to come, I’m here.

Just finished @matthewcappucci.bsky.social’s “Looking Up: The True Adventures of a Storm Chasing Weather Nerd” while on my Midwest chasecation. It’s a great, endearing read with a lot of infectious enthusiasm for all things weather. Hope to run into you chasing one day, Matt!

We've seen 513 tornado warning polygons in the U.S. so far this year as of 5:30 p.m today. Almost half of them have been issued since Friday.

More proof that my colleagues at NWS SPC are the best in the business. Their service is no less than vital.
Another example of the outstanding work of the folks at the NWS Storm Prediction Center!

The initial risk area was denoted on the Day 6 Severe Weather Outlook with continued messaging of a significant severe weather threat up to the event day

*Note: Reports are preliminary (likely more to come)

I really hope after tonight that more Americans will appreciate, understand, and value the significant and lifesaving work done by the National Weather Service, and NOAA in general.

Categorical High Risk day while I’m flying back from Europe 😬

Two rounds of severe weather are likely, which is concerning.

We'll have rotating supercells with STRONG tornado potential work across Louisiana and Mississippi this afternoon.

Then a squall line with embedded tornadoes pushes toward Alabama into the overnight.

Stay aware!

December 10-11th, 2021:

The worst December outbreak in US history impacted the Midwest and Mid-South. 24 of the 71 confirmed twisters were significant (EF2+). Several dominant multi-state supercells were responsible for intense tornado families. 92 people were killed.

Sadly missed out on a good shot while stuck in traffic, but managed this at least. The first tornado I had ever seen, and one of two I got to see that day!

And I was so close to migrating my X posts to Bluesky via @en.blueark.app before the end of the week…alas. Looks like I’m stuck there for a bit longer.

Likely tornado on the ground headed toward Berryville, VA 😬 #vawx

The closest I got today: a picture of the wall cloud forming on the back of the Leesburg cell that eventually spawned the Poolesville tornado. Went tornado-warned four minutes later before crossing the Potomac. #vawx

So close to seeing the Poolesville MD tornado…if not for being in Leesburg initially and having to cross the Potomac and race the storm 😅

Lesson learned about positioning when chasing in VA/MD, plus trusting my instincts when I saw the meso recycling and should have pursued!
