Good evening folks. First of all, wanted to say thank you to all of you who were able to join the live stream on Tuesday. Was great getting another opportunity to chat with you all on a LIVE chase again as nowadays they seam far and few between. That will change here in the coming months as winter will come in hot and heavy as well as fall severe weather season picks up momentum. I am still out here in the plains as I am house searching atm, (I will update you all on that situation soon) once a place gets locked in. Figured I would take advantage of the time im out here to try to make some bug progress on that front. I am looking at a possible chase this weekend (Friday-Saturday) as our next trough diggs in. Still a lot of days to figure that out but I am eyeing it. I will also state that I am continuing to watch the tropics as it is still hurricane season. The models are hinting at development in the MDR (main development region) come next week so only time will tell. Also have to watch for any stalling fronts and the carribean as systems like to spark in that region this time of year (think last year to Milton) so only time will tell. Some models are also hinting at a possible hurricane down near Baja next week and maybe getting pulled into AZ next weekend. If that does occur, Flash Flooding will be a problem so I am monitoring that situation. Anyway, sorry for the quiet time on the channel as content is in quite the quiet period but that will change in the coming weeks ahead. Hope you all have a fantastic week and I thank you all for the continuous support of this channel, especially during quiet times like this. Hope to see you all real soon.

Good afternoon, everyone. Glad I was able to see those of you who joined the live stream. I decided to repurpose the event that was scheduled for today as the threat has downtrended due to extensive overnight/morning convection. I still see a few severe storms possible from Tucson and points S/E, but due to terrain and worse cell service in the area, I decided not to go down. I instead put it for Monday as it looks like next week I will be returning out to the Plains, as an active stretch looks possible. Looking beyond, it looks like I could have an extended stay out there, so there may be quite a few streams coming in the next few weeks, but only time will tell. Anyway, I hope you guys have a fantastic rest of your day/weekend, and I will see you all again very shortly.

Good Morning/Afternoon, everybody. Long time no see. Hope all is well with you all, and here is a little update post for you all, as it has been quite a while.
First, I would like to apologize to you all for not being out as much as I would like to and for letting you all down in North Dakota on Sunday. I know some of you guys rely on my coverage to bring life-saving information to you, so not being there stung. Being home in AZ has made things more difficult than you would think to go out for these one-day here and there chases, as flight prices are fairly pricy ($800 for a round trip) for just a day of chasing, my chase rig is not with me at the current moment, and these setups seem to look better the day of as opposed to the night before.
Secondly, I am going to be updating the overlays on the streams, so it should be somewhat of a new look next time you all get to see me live. I am looking at potential tropical moisture moving into the SW later this week into the weekend, thanks to Tropical Storm Mario. I will be monitoring for significant flash flooding potential with this given terrain, dry soils, and maybe a little bit of severe weather. I am also watching next week for some severe weather in the northern/central U.S as more troughs are starting to march their way east. Right now they look fairly marginal, but given the trends this year, they will probably uptrend near these days/or on the day of.
Thirdly, I am watching for tropical activity to start to pick up as we head into late September/October. It has been a historically quiet season so far, but I have seen several tropical systems in the month of October, and I have had this feeling all year that potential landfalling threats would occur in the late season. I am also looking at moving out east toward the end of October, so trying to get things in order for that. Members, I will either do a members stream tomorrow or Thursday, so be on the lookout for that.
Again, I am very sorry for not being out there on Sunday and today. I appreciate all of your love, support, and patience with me and the channel, and I am forever grateful to you all. I wouldn't be able to be out doing what I love and providing life-saving information to thousands of people, and just know I love you guys and I will be out there very soon. If you guys want to watch any of the boys today, tune into @FreddyMcKinney @BrandonCopicWx @ConnorCroff @StormChaserJordanHall @ben_williams_wx as they will all be out there today.

Good Afternoon, everyone. Hope all has been doing well since the last time I saw you all. There is a slight chance of a public live stream as deep monsoon moisture is in place across Arizona. I am still unsure where I will target, as I'm waiting to see if last night's storms in the Phoenix area ruined the environment for robust storms today. If the atmosphere can recover, it would possibly be a very active day around there. I attached the observed sounding at PHX this morning, and you can just see how worked over it is. Once I figure that out, I will see if I need to go there or to the other possible target in Western AZ. There is also a chance for a stream tomorrow; it just depends on what happens today. Main threats will be Flash Flooding and strong winds near storms. Regardless of public streams, members, you will likely be getting a stream either today or tomorrow, along with a possible game night next week. Hope to see you all real soon.

Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to say thank you all for tuning into the stream on Monday. It was great to see everybody on the stream since it feels like it's been forever since I have seen you guys. I'm glad we were able to be there to provide LIVE coverage and help get the warning out to people in the stream. This dust storm was the worst one since 2011 for this region (14 years), which is quite remarkable. I am continuing to monitor for potential chases in the future. At the moment, it looks pretty quiet, but maybe some severe weather might tick up a bit sometime next week, but it's too early to tell at this moment. I will also be releasing a video on this here soon, so be on the lookout for that. Members, I am sure I will be doing some members-only content for you all, so be on the lookout for that. Enjoy some photos of the dust storm from Monday. As always, I wouldn't be able to be out here without you guys, and I am forever grateful to you all. Hope to see you all soon, god bless, and have a great rest of your week.

Good afternoon, everyone. Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday. I have had my eyes on tomorrow for dust storm potential for a few days, and with each model run that comes in, it is looking like a good setup to get a good dust storm tomorrow from Tucson up towards Phoenix, and extending west. I expect to see some expansion of this risk tomorrow. As of this time, it looks like a public live stream is possible, and chase mode may be activated. Hope to see you all tomorrow.

Hey all! Hope all is well for everyone. Here is a little update for you all! First, my nephews left yesterday and have successfully made it home. Was so glad I was able to spend some time with them for a few days I was able to. Secondly, Hurricane Erin went absolutely insane yesterday. I still don’t think this one will make any landfall in the U.S, but quite possibly tropical storm conditions possible if it gets west enough. Thirdly, it’s quite possible to have another storm behind Erin and I feel that those would pose more of a landfall threat to the U.S but that is way the road right now. If you live on the coast, I would have your Hurricane plan in place. Lastly, I am looking for the next potential to get back out there. Severe weather is more iffy this time of year, as setups could go up and down drastically. Monsoon looks to pick up later this week, so there could be some monsoon streams on the horizon. I will let you all know of potential stream days that come up. I also wanted to thank you all for all the love and support you all show for me and the channel! We wouldn’t be able to be out there without you guys! Hope to see you all soon.

Good Afternoon guys! I am planning on flying home from Nebraska this evening to spend a few days with my nephews before they leave. After that, not sure about chase opportunities as they can go from nothing to something quick. Monsoon is still a little quiet right now, and setups are very sporadic. I will be paying attention to newly formed Tropical Storm Erin, which could eventually have U.S impacts or it could be a fish storm, we shall see. I will let you know when any chases/members streams come up! Hope to see you all soon.
