Team Dominator let it rip in #tornado intercept mode with two tornadoes chased from close range in Iowa! We could have easily intercepted the second tornado for science, but the traffic was too bad. It’s like Mario Kart out there in #Tornado Alley these days

LIVE update on ACTIVE #TORNADO PATTERN for April 2026 ahead southern Plains to Midwest! The Storm Prediction Center already has Saturday-Monday risk areas for severe weather from West Texas through the southern Plains, with this first wave likely peaking on Monday. Then an active wave train establishes with round-after-round of severe weather and #tornado potential through the end of April. We are making final adjustments to the Dominator 3 and our science mission for this potentially historic pattern.

Live emergency update on a multi-day #tornado outbreak likely Thursday-Monday, peaking Saturday-Monday from Oklahoma through Dixie Alley. This April could become historic if this long-range pattern verifies. We are gearing up the Dominator 3 and sharpening the spikes for multiple chances at tornado intercepts for science. Tomorrow is looking quite favorable for supercells with isolated #tornado threat in central/eastern Kansas into northern Oklahoma. Now is the time to dial in your family severe weather safety plans.

LIVE EMERGENCY UPDATE ON MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER AND #TORNADO PATTERN starting this weekend! Tomorrow there will be a threat of hailers in central Kansas, and a magic hour #tornado threat in Oklahoma on Friday evening and Saturday evening. This sequence of severe weather and tornado potential PEAKS on Sunday with a potential tornado outbreak scenario. We are gearing up the Dominator 3 for this peak season #tornado threat and are hoping to succeed in our goal of a 3D X-ray of wind and thermodynamics inside of a tornado.

THE DOMINATOR 3 IS ALIVE!!!! @jakescustomdiesel to the rescue once again! Jake and Logan performed the impossible and saved the Dominator 3 ahead of Junesanity. We have three days of High Plains Insanity with gorilla hail and isolated #tornado threat each day across the western Dakotas, then we will be picking up the Dominator 3 to finish our #tornado intercept mission in the Northern Plains.

Live update on the threat of severe weather from Ohio to Texas. Some low-end #tornado potential could be realized in western into central Tennesee, with the greatest threat of gorilla hail down in South Texas. We are continuing repairs of the Dominator 3 and mass production of sensors ahead of next week's southern High Plains #tornado potential.

Live emergency update on a classic summertime ridge rider severe weather threat with nocturnal WIND BAGS likely from eastern Nebraska through Iowa! An isolated #tornado is also possible, especially tonight and tomorrow night across portions of northeast Nebraska into Iowa. I just fixed the Dominator Fore, and #stormchase mode will soon be activated! THANK YOU Team Dominator subscribers for supporting our science mission!

Check out this video of the Dominator 3 tracking down the widest #tornado ever in Texas State History near Morton, Texas on June 5, 2025. This dust buster wedge tornado was confirmed to reach an astounding 2.22 miles in diameter! Team Dominator launched and recovered a sensor from this record-breaking tornado. #stormchasing #weather #science LocalMan Weather Will Clay

Live emergency update on multiple days of #tornado potential ahead this Memorial Day Weekend, including OKC tomorrow (Saturday). Flash flooding will also be a problem! I also want to discuss some very preliminary findings from our #tornado suction vortex intercept west of Huntsville, Alabama. Today we are doing our third brake job on the Dominator 3 of the season. THANK YOU Team Dominator subscribers for making our science mission possible!

TORNADO SEASON IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! An uptick in severe weather potential appears likely during the first week of March through the middle of March with the development of a trough-ridge pattern. We are finalizing the rebuild of the Dominator 3 and Will Clay has put the science mission on his back! We will be launching dozens of sensors into the tornadoes this year for real-time tornado intensity. LocalMan Weather and I have been grinding out the rest of the Team Dominator speaking tour, with our next event tomorrow night in Effingham, Illinois. On March 1 we will return to the heart of Tornado Alley to test sensors and gear up for the active pattern ahead. 2026 will be a BIG year for #tornado science! Never stop chasing

We successfully launched a sensor into a tornado with good data back! Here is the first drop of the 3D data!!!! Check out more of our science data on (we are working on better analytics for the site.) This dataset is from the Blue Rapids KS tornado on 5/18/26

PDS #DOMINATOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT UPDATE We have an active pattern for severe weather ahead this end if May and June, with many more #tornado intercepts for science expected. @jakescustomdiesel and Will Clay are racing to replace the engine of the Dominator 3 in time for these severe weather and tornado episodes. Here is the new motor which may be installed as early as this weekend. Thank you to S&S Diesel Motorsport for their continued support. The Dominator 3 will be back in tornado intercept mode by Junesanity 2026. Never stop chasing

THANK YOU ABILENE, TEXAS for hosting the Team Dominator Show last night at the Paramount Abilene Theater! We had a heart-pounding evening with everyone sharing the art of the #tornado intercept. We enjoyed meeting everyone! Now we have two days of #stormchase mode including a #tornado threat Monday in Oklahoma and Kansas. After that, the next stops for the Fall Tour are Mountain Home, Arkansas, Lexington, Kentucky, Nashville and more! Stay tuned for announcements!

Live emergency update and meteorological breakdown of the severe weather outbreak including the threat of an EF2+ #tornado from Minneapolis to Chicago! The tornado threat could ramp up this evening with a low-level jet increase. Two days in a row of strong+ tornado threat. We will be live from the Dominator 3 by 3 pm!
