Dick McGowan and Darin Brunin chased with TVN yesterday and got these dramatic shots of the crew in action. [Photos not for use without license.] As mentioned in the last update, the SRV lost the driver's side window, which resulted in some minor injuries to those onboard; hence the blood streaming down Reed's face! The SRV has Lexan windows but must be manually rolled up, and unfortunately there was little time to do so during this particular intercept yesterday -- one of FOUR on the day!

Also, below is new footage of the tornado southwest of Aurora, NE from meteorologist/storm chaser Jeff Snyder, who is one of the TVN live streamers! AMAZING footage from Jeff as well! Click the "READ MORE" tab to watch!

Today holds the potential for a tornado outbreak across the prairies of Minnesota, Iowa and points south and east. EXTREME instability will be in place along with strong deep layer shear, so storms that fire will be capable of significant tornadoes. A MODERATE RISK is in place at this time, but an upgrade to HIGH RISK could be eminent this afternoon once confidence in the convective mode is established. Chasers will be out again today, so as always, be sure to follow along on the Live Video tab. This is a dangerous weather situation for persons in the risk areas, so be sure to follow the latest watches and warnings!
