Storm chase trip 4 leaves at the end of the week! Seats are still available. Message us for more information.
Possibly historic tornado outbreak in the southern plains today.
College of DuPage Nexlab is ready to nowcast for today.
Trip two is in a data sparse parse portion of southwest Nebraska, so tweets are hard for them to get out in a timely fashion with all that's going on - but they are relaying back to us they've seen all of THREE tornadoes with this cyclical supercell!
Interesting day across Nebraska. Multiple threats including tornadoes are likely today. @cod_stormchase is headed to areas near North Platte and will follow current data trends.
11:58am CDT #SPC_Watch WW 120 SEVERE TSTM TX 021655Z - 030000Z, #txwx, go.usa.gov/xmNTE
Convective battering occuring at the triple point of the WF/DL along US83 between Colby and Garden City is becoming very intriguing. Will be interesting to see what unfolds in the next hour or so as CINH erodes... weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?…
Not the greatest day for tornado potential, but a good chance for some pretty, organized severe convection this afternoon in SW KS. Expectation is for storms to grow upscaple in the evening, evolving into a windbag of an MCS. Trip 2 is en route to the Triple Point play today! x.com/nwsspc/status/…

New discussion concerning convection occurring in Trip 1's target area. Storms are underway and the group will be intercepting soon. Decisions will need to be made about which storm will be the best to target. Couple storms transitioning to a Supercell mode in WRN OK. x.com/nwsspc/status/…

Very large multi-hazard risk stretching across the Central and Southern High Plains into the Midwest today; The group favors heading for NW OK in the hopes of chasing some potentially more discrete and isolated convection long the DL rather than the convection along the front.
We have confirmation that Trip 1 has seen the large wedge tornado from their storm! Pic coming soon from @cod_stormchase ! Congrats!
Things are ramping up as Trip 1 closes in on their target area (roughly the area highlighted by MD 0304) - about to charge westward toward Great Bend, hoping to see convective initiation in the next couple hours. x.com/nwsspc/status/…

Shaping up to be an exciting day today for Trip 1. A Day1 ENH Risk across Central Kansas with 10% hatched Tornado Probs. The I-70 corridor should be fairly active by mid afternoon as well as SW KS near DDC. #kswx
Convection has begun in Trip 1's target area and they are now in intercept mode!
MD out for Trip 1's target area - Cumulus development increasing in the Pampa-Childress-Lubbock area suggesting that CI is approaching due to daytime heating and perhaps aided by UL height falls in advance of shortwave. Stay tuned... x.com/nwsspc/status/…

Different approach to twitter this year... Nowcast tweets will be more sporadic and generalized going forward. Detailed back and forth communication will be delegated to a back channel available to chase participants and associates.
Indications seem to be that CT will be reached by 20Z in the TX PH. Initial convection will track NE and may struggle until 00Z when moisture pushes westward, lowering bases and improving UD health. By that point, conditions should be favorable for supercells.
Our Storm Chase meeting will be held TOMORROW NIGHT at 7PM in BIC3505 at the College of DuPage! You won't want to miss this if you'd like to chase with us next spring or summer!
Our Storm Chase meeting is THIS FRIDAY (12/1/17)!! See the link in this tweet for details!!! Don't miss it! x.com/codmeteorology…

5K Followers 6 Following Welcome to ONE HALF of the College of DuPage thunderstorm laboratory Twitter experience! Please follow @cod_nowcast in addition to @cod_stormchase!We’re sticking with the cell in Dacoma. Starting to look better.
Straight out of a Sci-Fi film, this was the scene under turbulent "Whales Mouth" before sunset near Faith, SD on my birthday (6/10) last year. You don't need tornadoes to make a spectacular skyscape!
@cod_nowcast This is a very smart call @sirvatka ! It saves COD from being tailed by other groups with lesser forecasting skills/tools. Plus if there is a debate between back home at the lab & you folks on the road it is private. Last year I thought some of the back & forth was a bit much.
For those following along, we are done. Overnight convection ruined things for the day yesterday and today. Rather than driving all over for low end threats we decided to call it over. Here are some pics of activities.
Tropical Cyclone's winds are NOT the only danger associated with a hurricane. #HurricaneHarvey
The Weather Friends want YOU to be safe this weekend!🌀 #HurricaneHarvey
We are home! 4656 miles! 23,832 miles for the season! 2017 COD Storm Chasing is in the books!
..and will put us into an ideal spot to make a final decision about where to be tomorrow. Will monitor severe forecast, but we're excited..
Alright, we've decided to pull the plug on today. Going to start heading toward Swift Current/Moose Jaw. This will cut into our drive home..
Just had a wonderful lunch here, great food (poutine on point!!), and amazing staff. Waypoint worthy!
