The future of storm chasing in southern Wisconsin is in good hands, definitely worth a follow.
On a more serious note….I’ve met several storm chasers in Wisconsin this year, all great people, but I’m old enough to be most of their dad…..I am not ready to be the old man of the Wisconsin chasing world. So after 2024 I think I will call It quits. 🤷🏻♂️👴
Imagine having a minimum 4 year degree in meteorology/atmoshperic science, among other schooling required to work for the NWS/SPC and a bunch of amateurs that put the name “storm chaser” in front of their name bash you for how you do your job….. I hate humans and this world.
Decided to go sit on the warm front just in case the storms decided not to behave and actually have surprising. Good structure for what they are. #wiwx
Fun point of view shot in the truck last night looking into the hook of the tornado warned storm just north of Monroe, Wisconsin last night. #wiwx
Tweet of the year!
Dashcam timelapse of tornado warned supercell yesterday from Argyle, Wis to Monticello, Wis. #wiwx #supercell
Absolutely classic whales mouth near Monticello Wisconsin right now. #wiwx
Unbelievable supercell near Argyle. Wis right now! #wiwx
Beautiful supercell near Pecatonica, Illinois. #ilwx
Absolutely terrible situation in eastern Nebraska right now. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Omaha and Lincoln area, those people are some of the nicest you will ever meet. strong and resilient but my god the damage images coming in are catastrophic. Pray for them! 😢
Do you know the problem with posting anything about weather? People will tear you up for no good reason damned if you do damned if you don’t, but here is a fun fact you don’t know me I don’t really give a shit what you think. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I don’t pay much attention to analogs, but when the top analog for Saturday is a generational outbreak it certainly gets your attention. Not saying anything like that will happen. But lord Saturday looks like a very volatile day in the upper Midwest.
Long ways to go, but if already make preparations for severe weather in southern Wisconsin Saturday. A couple caveats but a strong tornado or 2 is not out of the question right now along with giant hail. #wiwx
8 years ago and one of the top highlights of my weather career I got to meet and present with Dr. Russell Schneider, the director of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. A fellow cheesehead who earned his degree from the university of Wisconsin Madison.
This lone tree and the undercut anvil from a dying rain shower in southern Wisconsin this evening looks pretty sweet #wiwx

The first 2 years of a METR degree are the same curriculum as an engineering student. It is hard and rigorous as a meteorologist is an engineer of the atmosphere. I didn’t breeze through it myself
@TomPurdyWI Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
New video just went live about my storm spotting experience during Friday’s severe weather outbreak! Go check it out! #wiwx @CornbeltChasers youtu.be/Kzy6MNh1teQ
@TwisterKidMedia @TomPurdyWI This made me giggle. While I feel that it's easier to avoid issues most of the time I just can't help myself but cause trouble for my own amusement at times... I felt this
@TomPurdyWI Most of those who tag themselves as “Storm Chaser” couldn’t pass the curriculum to become a meteorologist. They can’t get past the math/science but drive 1,000s of miles a year, so they are pros in their own eyes.🤣🤣
@TomPurdyWI Try being an educator...lol...it's almost worst!
@JordanHallWX @TomPurdyWI What. I’m an insurance underwriter with a met degree. Damage is damage. If it’s a covered peril (wind in this case) we cover it whether it’s EF5 or EF0.
@TomPurdyWI I bust all the time chasing *and* I suck at forecasting lol. But I also don't trash talk the world's most experienced mesoscale forecasters. Because I'm not a moron.
@TomPurdyWI Their opinions mean less than nothing to us. I like to stir the pot and interact with them for my own amusement at times but really their opinions don't matter. Gotta have thick skin in this buissness!
@TomPurdyWI I was surprised to see how young most chasers are. I started chasing a year ago in my early 30s thinking I was one of the younger ones out here. Nope lol.
@passiontwisted @TomPurdyWI You missed the fact they’re also all in high school too
@TomPurdyWI They all have one thing in common: their "forecast" is never tested. Half of them don't chase anyway, and none of them post public SWODYs in advance of SPC's. So they (1) never prove themselves and (2) never have to be accountable. Just a demographic of pure trash.
@TomPurdyWI Ignore them they don't know what it really takes
@TomPurdyWI One of my biggest pet peeves as a former NWS meteorologist. It’s not like I can go around saying I’m a doctor or a CPA without the education/credentials to back it up.
@DraimanBelieve @Alferia_ @JordanHallWX @TomPurdyWI Classification does not impact payout. Sorry.
@DraimanBelieve @Alferia_ @JordanHallWX @TomPurdyWI I hate when people share unavlidated info because then everyone repeats it likes it's gospel - rather than listening to people who do it. That's how rumors and recovery misconceptions start.
@TomPurdyWI @JordanHallWX Sorry! I don’t mean to talk above your head. 😅 But basically, it could save a researcher months of sifting through data and help the get alllllll the data they need without missing any of the good stuff. 😊
@TomPurdyWI @JordanHallWX So, if a researcher is only looking at EF-5 tornadoes, they may easily discount valuable data sets that have been previously categorized as EF-4. (2/2)
