Some of the richest gulf moisture of the year is making it's way northbound into Texas, and the result is convective thunderstorm development. It is some of the first severe weather in the area for 2010. Dewpoints in the upper 50's are creating just enough CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) to trigger convection with the help of an upper level low centered over NE New Mexico. The Storm Prediction Center has recently issued a severe thunderstorm watch and we have already seen a severe warned storm to the NW of the DFW metroplex. This is the beginning of what is anticipated to be a very active season!

Strong upper level dynamics are combining with cold air advection from Canada to create a wintery mess in western Montana. Winter storms warnings have been posted for nearly the entire western half of the state, and winter weather advisories are up for lower elevations of the southwestern corner of Montana. Winter weather advisories are also up for the Yellowstone Park area in Wyoming, eastern Idaho, and the Salt Lake City region. This is the same weather system that has caused much snowfall in the Sierra Nevada the last few days. Many times the area most favorable for snowfall is just to the northwest of the 700mb low, and this case is no exception to the rule. We can expect to see numerous totals above half a foot, with higher elevations expecting over two feet! This includes the Glacier National Park area!

With Typhoon Conson gathering strength over the South China Sea, extreme storm chaser James Reynolds made a last-minute decision to travel to Hainan Province, China, landing in the resort area of Sanya for what would have been a perfect intercept of the Category-1 equivalent storm. However, Conson did not totally cooperate, making landfall after dark and thus limiting James' ability to fully document the brunt of the storm (footage below!). Stay tuned for more from James in the coming months as he will be out documenting everything the Pacific and Indian seasons have to offer!

This past spring TVN took in-field Domination to the next level....Softball Sponsorship. The TornadoVideos.Net Tornados (aka "Nados") DOMINATED its competition winning 10 of 12 games finishing the Denver based "Softball in the City" season in 1st place. Week-in and week-out the TVN "Nados" kept their bats and gloves active. With a .515 team batting average, command on the hill, and error free fielding the team overwhelmed each opponent faced. TornadoVideos.Net looks forward to staying active and continuing to supporting the individuals / communities within Tornado Alley.

This storm chasing season is likely to go down as the best ever for a large number of chasers. 2010 has been unusual not only in terms of actual numbers of tornadoes, but also in the variety of extremely photogenic storms. Saturday was no exception, as those who were around the Fergus Falls area of western Minnesota can confirm. Bill Doms was among the chasers there, and he shot this fantastic, high-contrast video of multiple tornadoes Saturday evening. Unfortunately this tornado went through a farmstead causing severe damage, but thankfully there were no injuries. Bill offers his apologies for not being able to stream this event, but his data service was very poor in that area, making streaming an impossibility. Eric Whitehill did have good data, and his live stream did capture the action in real-time, which sent Reed into a near panic attack as he watched from his bedroom in Norman. Reed has been literally working day and night putting the finishing touches on his dissertation, so he has had to miss a lot of chases since mid-June. That hasn't been easy on him! - The next few days hold chase potential for the central and northern Plains as well, so if any of you happen to catch a chaser streaming an amazing tornado on the Live page, don't tell Reed!!

What a photogenic beauty. I can't get over the surrounding peace while such violence is happening, ie; the crickets and birds chirping away.
The corkscrewing(downward)in the mid-section of the vortex is stunning as well.
Kudos to Bill and what a treat for young Cailyn!!
