JULY 18, 2020 MINNESOTA: TORNADO WARNED STORM THROUGH NORTHERN TWIN CITIES METRO

December 13, 2020 by Brad in 2020

Met up with Roger Hill, Rusty Nelson and the Silver Lining Tours crew in Willmar, MN as we waited for storms to initiate. Good to see them and catch up!

Storm developed further east than we were expecting. Had to blast back east towards the Twin Cities. This is the initial storm updraft looking southeast from Annandale, MN towards Brooklyn Park.

A nervous moment as we watched this wall cloud mature, driving on Hwy 14/Main Street from Coon Rapids into Blaine. Inflow right to left into the wall cloud and condensation/rotation with that small dark feature on the right side underneath the wall cloud as it was trying to produce a funnel. Glad it didn't drop a tornado in the northern suburbs!

Wall cloud on what is now a tornado warned storm in Blaine, MN.

Another shot of the wall cloud in Blaine, MN as it was tightening up and becoming better organized.

Turbulent underside of the wall cloud as it overtook us and moved to our southeast. This was as we were approaching White Bear Lake.

East of Hugo, MN the storm became even better organized. Thought it was going to produce a tornado here!

Driving back home after our chase had ended. Beautiful storm erupting at sunset over Eagan, MN.

Taken from my driveway. Love this shot of two storm updrafts approaching Farmington and gap in between!

Shot of the storm to the east of our house, lit by lightning in the evening.

An intense rain and hail core on our initial storm to the southwest of Ottertail, Minnesota.

Vertical shot of the storm updraft above the intense rain and hail core.

Wall cloud forming on the storm with quick right to left condensation into the base.

Vibrant colors at sunset as the storm approached us near Deer Creek, Minnesota.

Magnificent color and storm structure at sunset!

Looking back to the east the other direction from the previous photo. Love the color of the blue sky and the backlit clouds from the setting sun.

Mesoscale discussion issued at 3:52 PM CDT for northwest Minnesota ahead of the occlusion and low. We were just outside of this MD on the southern end near the triple point. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md1214.html

JULY 8, 2020 MINNESOTA: AN EPIC EF4 TORNADO INTERCEPT AND #100 OF MY CHASING CAREER!!

December 07, 2020 by Brad in 2020

We were fortunate to be right on this storm at the initial updraft at it was punching through the CAP southeast of Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Stopped for 15 minutes to gas up and use the restroom and BOOM! the storm went up fast right on the warm front and ahead of the triple point.

Wall cloud formed 20 minutes after the initial updraft went up. When this happens and you already have a lowering in a favorable storm environment, you know something special could happen. This was looking from the north near Dalton as the storm was moving northeast.

Low contrast here but this was the initial tornado touchdown looking south from Dalton on Hwy 82 shortly after the last photo.

Driving southeast on Hwy 82 as the tornadic circulation strengthens and the tornado “plants”. Perfect road to continue safely southeast as the tornado moves to the left (northeast) across I-94 at this point.

Another shot of the tornado as we stopped near Hwy 82 and 130th St.

Drove right up to the tornado as it slowly moved across Hwy 82, unfortunately hit a structure, and started throwing a lot of dirt in the debris field! Tornado was moving from our right and into the photo and left out of the photo. Did not want to turn left here as there was concern we would end up too close to the tornado path.

UNBELIEVABLE!! At this point I knew we were witnessing a monster. Intense tornado with large debris field. We could hear the roar of the tornado at this point and smell all of the dirt, trees, and debris being chewed up and lofted. Can count on one hand the times I have experienced such exhilaration of the chase.

Absolutely stunning tornado as we stood watching in awe.

Large pieces of debris being thrown here as the tornado appeared to be fully wrapping up under the parent circulation.

One of my favorite storm chasing photos I have ever taken here. Would be hard-pressed to ever get a shot like this again. This print is blown up large and hanging on my wall! Perfect spot to capture the white tornado with excellent contrast with no precipitation and sun illuminating everything.

Tornado started moving away from us as we watched from a distance while a rainbow forms and points towards the tornado base. Interesting white debris field here.

Beautiful scene with a white tornado in the distance and a rainbow in the foreground. Such an awesome view to behold! This was somewhere north of Ashby, MN as we continued chasing the tornado to the northeast.

Tornado starting to occlude as the storm condensation base erodes but still going strong northwest of Ashby, MN. Terrific contrast and debris cloud with rainbow.

Wall cloud wrapping up with the white tornado in the distance.

Look at the structure!! No rain around the tornado, wall cloud and mesocyclone as you’re able to see the tornado and twisting updraft overhead.

Majestic white tornado starting to rope out between Sewell Lake and Johnson Lake, MN.

Incredible and jaw dropping rope-out at the end of this tornado life cycle!

Mesoscale discussion issued at 3:03 PM CDT. Notice the triple point of the low, trough and warm front where our tornadic storm formed just to the east. Storm rode that warm front with the enhanced low level shear and ingested rich boundary layer moisture pooling along the boundary. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md1142.html

Mesoscale discussion issued at 6:17 PM CDT as multiple tornadoes have occurred, with our EF4 ongoing with our lone supercell across west-central Minnesota. Storm right on the northern end of the instability axis. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md1145.html

JUNE 28, 2020 MINNESOTA: TORNADO WARNED SUPERCELLS AND A FEW FUNNELS

December 05, 2020 by Brad in 2020

First supercell of the day, storm base and intense core near Wells, MN.

Intense core as the storm crept closer and right at us near Wells, MN.

Wall cloud organizing on the same storm as we watched directly out ahead.

Organized, rising scud finger that looked like a funnel but was not. However, wall cloud/lowering was rotating at this point.

Rising scud finger still present with the wall cloud becoming more ragged near Austin, MN.

Legit funnel cloud here as we watched the storm near Grand Meadow, MN

Funnel cloud still there in the middle of the wall cloud and easy to identify inflow tail condensating right to left into the action area.

Decent structure here of the storm base of a tornado warned supercell near Spring Valley, MN

Beautiful wall cloud on a tornado warned supercell in the hill country near Preston, MN

Rotating wall cloud on the storm near Preston, MN. Closest this storm came to dropping a tornado through its life cycle!

Mesoscale discussion issued at 3:42 PM CDT for southeast Minnesota and north-central / northeast Iowa. Remnant MCV moving through the area and may produce a few funnels and a brief tornado. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md1039.html

November 15, 2020 by Brad in 2020

Mammatus on the northern storm as we were approaching after crossing the dam at the Missouri River near Pickstown, SD.

Approaching from the northeast on the farthest north severe thunderstorm in a broken line through east-central Nebraska. Can see a lowering here where the mature wall cloud is wrapping into the mesocyclone.

Severe warned supercell near Dustin, NE as we were driving south to chase a stronger storm. Terrific structure!

Approaching the stronger supercell to the south near Atkinson, NE. This storm soon becomes tornado warned.

Wall cloud in the notch of this storm on the northern side of the storm base where the mature mesocylone was occluding.

Dual mesocyclones looking to our south towards Atkinson, NE

Another view of the wall cloud trying to tighten up. Inflow tail and fast right to left condensation into the storm at this point. Hard to tell if there’s anything that is touching down in there due to all of the dirt and generally low visibility.

Screaming inflow to our backs into this wall cloud at this time. This is when it looked the most interesting in regards to potentially producing a tornado. Was still tornado warned at this point.

Very interesting. Rapid inflow right to left into this rotating wall cloud. Still can’t see what’s going on in there.

Lots of dirt being pulled into this storm with screaming fast inflow from our backs.

End of the chase during the evening as a strong and intense line of heavy rain and hail as approaching. Looking northwest from near Bristow, NE.

Mesoscale discussion issued at 3:16 PM CDT. 80% chance of watch issuance along and ahead of the stalled boundary from eastern South Dakota into central Nebraska.

First severe thunderstorm of the day near Karlstad, MN. Heck of a core here!

Decent structure on the storm near Donaldson, MN. Inflow scud condensing on the right side.

Rotating wall cloud wrapping up quickly near Lake Bronson, MN.

Got up close to the wall cloud northeast of Lake Bronson, MN with a nub funnel trying to form in the middle. Very fast condensation right to left into this wall cloud.

Funnel in the middle as the wall cloud tightened up.

Another shot of the funnel becoming more ragged here but the white wall cloud in front of us tightening up.

Tornado warned storm, again near Donaldson, MN at the end of the day. Lots of interesting features/motion underneath this base.

Mesoscale discussion issued at 2:00 pm CDT. 95% chance of a tornado watch being issued. Severe thunderstorms expected to develop with a tornado threat, especially along the warm front. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0869.html

JUNE 6, 2020 SOUTH DAKOTA: OUTRUNNING A DERECHO!

November 07, 2020 by Brad in 2020

Storm developing and rolling off the northern end of the Black Hills of South Dakota near Sturgis.

Shelf cloud approaching very quickly on Highway 34 east of Sturgis. Bear Butte on the right.

Looking northwest towards Bear Butte as the intense squall line and shelf cloud was overtaking it.

Beautiful vertical shelf stretching the skyline over the open prairies of western South Dakota.

Interesting to see all of these notches in the shelf cloud and rotation signatures on radar as the derecho attempted to overtake us.

Beautiful shelf still moving on us fast near Union Center, South Dakota.

Interesting feature here where there was strong rotation and a lowering underneath the base to our northwest. Sure looked and felt outflow dominant.

Got ahead of the storm enough to see the updraft above the derecho. Was cool to see these updrafts above the derecho staggered down the line.

Derecho really started to become less linear as it moved into west-central South Dakota and form what looked like mesocyclones with noticeable rotation within each segment along the front on radar.

Enjoying the storm with my beautiful wife, MaryLynn! Looking north into the Cheyenne River Reservation.

Beautiful end to the chase day as we reached Pierre, South Dakota just ahead of the derecho.

Mesoscale Discussion issued at 1:27 PM CDT noting a 95% chance for a severe thunderstorm watch to be issued due to widespread damaging winds with a significant bowing line of storms moving across the region. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0854.html

Mesoscale Discussion issued at 3:33 PM CDT as more isolated supercell storms were possible to form ahead of the derecho moving across Colorado and Wyoming. Storm tried to get going and we even chased one storm from the Black Hills north but it ended up dying due to the capped airmass. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0856.html

New severe thunderstorm watch issued at 5:45 pm CDT until 1:00 am CDT as the derecho was starting to approach western South Dakota. Wind gusts up to 80 mph and large hail events up to 2” in diameter. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2020/ww0264.html

Mesoscale discussion issued at 8:29 pm CDT as a new severe thunderstorm watch needed to be issued ahead of the fast moving derecho. We stayed out ahead and managed to get to Pierre before it hit! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2020/md0861.html

October 24, 2020 by Brad in 2020

Tornado warned storm near Janesville, Minnesota. Condensation being pulled into the updraft base. Could have easily been mistaken for a funnel cloud.

Not too often that you see this kind of awesome structure in Minnesota!

Interesting feature here as there was clear dirt/debris being lofted and a funnel overhead. Tough to tell if this was a tornado or gustnado on the leading edge of the outflow.

Barley dodging an intense hail core!! We blasted ahead to stay out of this core but it was close.

Prolific scud bomb near Ellendale, Minnesota. This was called in as a tornado believe it or not. Definitely not a tornado but ominous looking for sure!

Beautiful end of the day and mammatus near Stewartville, Minnesota.

October 24, 2020 by Brad in 2020

Initial intercept of an intense supercell storm coming out of southeast Colorado. Warned for 70+ mph winds and ping pong ball size hail!

Beautiful structure on this mean looking storm!

Possible tornado under the updraft base but could easily be concentrated area of rear flank downdraft winds coming around the south side of the mesocyclone.

Microburst in the center of the image descending to the ground.

Closer view of the microburst quickly descending. I bet this thing produced nearly 100 mph winds when it hit the ground.

Beautiful storm! Looking northwest towards the forward flank core.

Nature’s vacuum! 50 mph inflow winds to our back being sucked into this storm. Notice all of the dirt being pulled into the updraft region and up into the storm.

Terrific storm structure near Hugoton, Kansas. WHAT A BEAST

Getting dark later in the evening as the storm rages on near Hugoton, Kansas.

Awesome structure and starting to throw out some lightning!

Mesoscale Discussion issued at 2:15 p.m. CDT. We were in Garden City and initially thinking of staying east on these storms but decided to blast west towards the intense storm coming out of Colorado.

Mesoscale Discussion issued at 2:28 p.m. CDT. This area was really drawing our attention as the short range guidance was indicating one intense supercell rolling out of southeast Colorado.

Initial updraft of the storm breaking the cap by late afternoon near Haynesville, Texas.

Intensifying storm starting to anvil out, looking above our heads as lightning was becoming more frequent.

Initial wall cloud forming as the storm begins to mature and track east along the Red River between Haynesville and Burkburnett, Texas.

A pair of funnels underneath the updraft.

Tornado warned storm kicking up dirt on the south side of the bowl lowering near Burkburnett, Texas.

Brief tornado underneath bowl funnel. Notice concentrated area of dirt being picked up right in the middle of the picture.

Another shot of the tornado and funnel above that is more noticeable than the previous image. Clear concentrated rotation within this dirt plume.

Concentrated rising scud into the storm base and some structure in this shot, taken near Thornberry, Texas.

Nice structure on this storm as we got further out ahead near Thornberry, Texas.

Another very good structure shot!

Watching this wall cloud attempt to organize near Petrolia, Texas.

Shot of the well organized inflow tails into this storm, right to left, and a wall cloud still intact. Some semblance of a funnel or bowl lowering underneath.

Second brief tornado, noticeable by the debris cloud underneath the funnel and wall cloud near Petrolia, Texas. Lucky to get a view here as this area is hilly with a lot of small trees and brush.

Two wall clouds here, one in the foreground and background. Latter produced the tornado that was shown in the previous photo. Thought the one in front could do the same thing.

One more shot of the matured wall cloud and storm towards the end of the day as it was about to overtake us.

Mesoscale Discussion issued at 12:55 p.m. CDT with expectation of thunderstorm initiation within the next hour. Interestingly enough, thunderstorm initiation occurred much later and closer to 5-6 p.m. as the cap held and initial towers could not sustain.
