CNN, 8 Day Forecast & the Deadly Valley View TX Tornado
🕑 Added 2024-06-01 19:03:37 +0000 UTCGood Afternoon Patrons,
Tomorrow, CNN premieres their “Violent Earth” series with a small boatload of my tornado and lightning footage. Judging by the trailer, it looks to be high quality, perhaps competing with BBC and NatGeo.
CNN also timely released a short conversation Dr. Orf and I had about his simulations. It’s nice to see Leigh getting recognition for his incredible work (and them butchering my last name). 🙃 Link below…
THE VALLEY VIEW NIGHT TORNADO on May 25 reportedly killed 7 people. I was as close to the EF3 scene as semi-comfortably possible just prior to it hitting i35. Here are a few of my screen grabs of the amorphous blob in power flashes.
THE 8 DAY FORECAST isn’t screaming “CHASE” to me, but there is definitely opportunity for random tornadoes here and there.
Here’s my summery based on the latest GFS run.
Today / Saturday: the 2% in Colorado. Cross fingers for CO magic.
Tomorrow / Sunday: I’d aim at potential tail storms in southern Nebraska / perhaps Northern Kansas. Currently a 2% risk, but It might bump up to 5%.
MONDAY: Low confidence conditional threat for storms near the OK/ KS border. (Watching)
TUESDAY: Low confidence for a late storm in OK. Minnesota deserves watching as well.
WEDS: nada
THURS: perhaps a big storm on the OK/ KS border
FRI: Storms drift off the New Mexico Raton mesa into the OK panhandle vicinity.
SATURDAY THE 8th: Messy storms on the NM / CO upslope.
I’m currently waiting for better tornado parameters to materialize before heading up north. These long range outlooks can flip pretty quickly. Standing by.
Good luck optimistic chasers!

Congrats on the CNN series! Going to have to find some way to watch! You do such great work, glad to see your accomplishments as a chaser be recognized 🎉 As for chasing: couldn’t go out today due to plans, but curious if tomorrow and Tuesday would be worth it 🤔

Congrats Hank. Not on CNN but the accomplishment.

May give TX/OK a look tomorrow around Vernon for a stray storm. Otherwise panhandle looks possible on Thursday if the models hold up.

Can’t wait to see what they came up with! Good luck with chasing Hank!
