My likely final chase of this season showed some insignificant yet gorgeous structure. Stayed in Alabama for this one. Mammatus clouds to some cool looking cloud bases.

Well, it’s almost that time of year for astrophotography. This season I have restored my Grandpas Celestron Nexstar 114GT. There’s 2 pieces that fell off due to age but it’s almost fully restored otherwise. I intend on using it plenty this astrophotography season.

I saw the aftermath of a possible tornado in Edmonton, Kentucky, and submitted a damage report to the NWS. I offered assistance with damage, but they said they had it handled. Thankfully there were no reported injuries in the areas I was in.

The structure from yesterday’s storms was amazing. While I did not see a tornado, it was still worth the 18 hours of driving. Apparently Edgar ONeal was on this same storm.

Chased for like 300 miles just for a severe thunderstorm warning. Robust updrafts lead to plenty of mammatus beneath the anvil of the storm. This was a highly unstable environment, with little to no directional shear. Near 6,000 J/kg MUCAPE was noted during RAP Mesoanalysis. Perfect environment for hailers and a wind bag event.

Core punched a thunderstorm that ended up getting a considerable damage tag severe thunderstorm warning.

Several large trees down in Sylacauga following this storm.

Submitted my first spotter network damage report today.

A lightning picture session turned chase. An unexpected supercell formed between Dadeville and Jackson’s Gap and travelled from there to Chambers county, before bowing out and merging with the line. Did not have to travel far for this one.
