LIVE UPDATE on a few marginal severe weather days before the WARM FRONT POPS Monday-Wednesday. Team Dominator is targeting a conditional threat of supercells with #tornado potential tomorrow evening in southwest OK into Northwest TX, then likely we will eject northeast to the warm frontal zone Iowa-Illinois for Monday-Wednesday. ACTIVE pattern ahead for severe weather and storm chasing for the rest of April!

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 the return of a volatile severe weather pattern next week Tuesday-Saturday across the Northern Plains through Upper Midwest! Multiple days of BIG severe weather will be possible. The dominant summertime anticyclone in the south-central U.S. with potent troughs riding the top of it into the Upper Midwest is the key to this pattern. I will be activating full-blown #stormchasing mode for this setup, but I need to get back to Gizmo ASAP.

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

Live emergency update from northeastern Iowa with a bimodal #tornado outbreak this afternoon and night! We are targeting the northern mode of eastern Iowa into southern Wisconsin/northern Illinois where intense tornadoes are possible. Extreme instability in place already with 4,000 J/kg CAPE on the 18z sounding in Davenport. Live storm chase mode begins soon!

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!

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.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY This is a live emergency update on the forecast uptick in severe weather across the central and eastern U.S., starting as a #tornado outbreak on Thursday across the Upper Midwest including Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri. We are taking a deeper dive as we are now 5 days out from this first #tornado threat. We are ramping up our science mission with more rockets and FPV drone deployment planned ahead.

Live emergency update on the threat of strong-to-violent #tornado threat across northern Illinois into northwestern Indiana. Intense supercells could fire as early as 3-4 pm along a volatile warm frontal zone. This target area includes Peoria to Gary, and even the south side of Chicago #stormchasing

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

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.
