What Happened to MAY? & Free Chasing Music
🕑 Added 2025-05-10 21:31:44 +0000 UTCHappy Mothers Day Patron Moms!
Mother Nature has blessed storm chaser Moms with fair weather so that we can be home celebrating Mother's Day. Not such a great thing if you're a mom who was looking forward to chasing on your special holiday.
So what the heck happened to May? It seems 2 out of 3 Mays have a week or two of fair weather followed be a week or two of nonstop supercell chasing (in the Alley). Recalling 2013 when the first two weeks of May were cold with scoured dew points. The last two weeks of May produced some of the most incredible photogenic tornadoes in that decade closing with El Reno on May 31st.
SUPERCELL OUTLOOK The next 8 days is layered with uncertainty, however supercell parameters currently appear to be in the Alley Tuesday through Monday. But...
TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY Upper level flow is forecast to start streaming into the Alley bringing supercell parameters, but with a formidable cap. The GFS is currently saying "nada." But all we need is one thingie to break the cap somewhere and we could have a nasty supercell. Worth watching. Texas appears be stupid hot with multiple days of triple digits from Austin to Laredo. Hopefully this does not verify.
THURSDAY the best bet for storms appears to be up in Illinois. Lots of uncertainty and a long way out.
FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY look to be active for chasing. Overall confidence in any scenario is very low attm (at the moment). But remember, its May!
FREE CHASING MUSIC
The first song I gave away here on Patreon was "Angel's Serenade" / The theme song I open the "Tornadoes of" series with. I'm offering it again to the new comers and since many of you are still supporting my creations since that first download way back when, also attached is another surf song off my first album called "El Camino Peligroso." If strategically played on the road back-to-back, these two songs should lead you to the mesocyclone.
Happy Mothers day Moms! Have wonderful day tomorrow and good luck next week patient chasers!

Well obviously it’s because we Dutchies haven’t arrived yet: ‘everywhere you go, always take the weather…’ ;-) My chase partner is arriving next Friday and I’ll be joining him on Friday the 23th. Hope to catch you somewhere!
