If I lived just a bit closer to you, I would love to chase with you! I am not sure how well I could swing that since I live in Russellville, AR. If things ever look favorable where I would have time, I will give you a shout!

New to Southern California, would love to network or head out to chase with locals. It's a hell of a commute to the dryline. Not so bad to the AZ Monsoon?
30yo M, I don't eat Corn Nuts or do anything annoying besides maybe listen to Cubs baseball.
My schedule is all over the place.

This is Tom Dulong. I am looking to team up with other chasers based in the Dallas, TX area. Having recently retired, my time is flexible and I could be ready to go out at a moment's notice. I was an NWS meteorologist and have chased off-and-on since 1985. More notable chase partners have included Tony Laubach, Jenn Brindley-Ubl, and Verne Carlson. Please send me a PM here or via Facebook if interested.

Hi,
I am Dylan Johnson and I am a 17 year old from North Central Iowa. For as long as I have remembered, I have loved meteorology. I have specifically been interested in Severe Weather and Weather Photography. So I was just wondering if there would be an experienced storm chaser that would maybe allow me to chase along with them? Currently I'm in school, so I wouldn't be able to leave until 3:30 until around May 30th. Then I am pretty much free for the rest of the summer.
Thanks,
Dylan Johnson

All right, I need a chase partner because the list of hair-pulling busts is getting ridiculous. Latest, today. Made the decision to dash for northern Illinois after perusing data after work. Wasn't enthused by the cloud cover still holding strong over most of the area, but the HRRR UDH pushed me out the door. I made Freeport by 2:30 and browsed data again at a McDonalds, learning about the tornado reported from the first cluster near Peoria. While I sat there, it remained overcast. I pushed further south to near Forreston and finally broke out of the warm frontal fog into some legitimate sunshine. I quickly noticed what looked like small updraft towers going up, with scud rising into some of them. However it still didn't feel like a significant tornado atmosphere, rather cool and with little wind except occasional puffs from the NORTH (supported by the ob at Freeport I was hearing on the weather radio).
My pessimism and lack of sleep, and not wanting to compound it by staying in Illinois until evening (my work shift starts at 3 AM) got the better of me. I decided this was probably going to be another April day where a tornado watch yields little more than chilly thundershowers and began a non-stop drive back to my apartment in Madison, arriving just as the tornado warnings began to fly in the area I had left.
My target wasn't that bad, but I didn't have enough confidence in it to stick around for the show. I get squirrelly just sitting by myself on the roadside, especially without access to data. I have a laptop but depend on public access wi-fi, which usually means I eat way too much McDonald's on chases and seldom have both access to data AND a good view of the sky at the same time. Having a chase partner could be that extra push I need to stay with it, and also help stay alert for the head-on-a-swivel multitasking that is often required while pursuing storms on the roads.
I know there are several other Madisonians that post on here (George?). Drop me a PM next time a local setup presents itself.

Same thing happened to me today. I'm from northeast Missouri and easily should have been there but decided to turn back.
