Chase Forecast No. 2 ~ 2025-03-19
You know that you’re craving for storms when you’re seriously considering a 12 hour drive west to Illinois for a cold-core setup.
Chase Recap: 2025-03-05 ~ Allegheny Bliss
My 10th year of chasing has finally begun! It actually felt really good to get out from behind a computer screen for a day and take in the road and some cool clouds, even when the overall setup was rather marginal.
Chase Forecast No 1.1 ~ 2025-03-05
It is currently quarter of 6 AM writing this, so please excuse any pre-coffee errors. Last time I wrote, things were looking rather favorable in my opinion out towards western Pennsylvania into Eastern OH for some supercells and a potential tornado or two.
Chase Forecast No. 1 ~ 2025-03-05
Starting something new this season where I write out my storm chasing forecasts in order to both help myself organize my thoughts and provide insight into my process for selecting storm chasing targets.

I’m Burnt Out ~ 2024-05-24
I was supposed to have a video completed today.
Instead, the script is still only halfway done and I’ve grown increasingly frustrated at it. For the first time since college, I think I’m burnt out.
