Reach for the skies. Happy meteorological spring and welcome to Chase Season 2026! #wxtwitter
Regarding yesterday, there were a lot of slcs I couldn’t confirm due to the amount of rain at the ground. However, I’ve attached my videos if it helps. The first was shot at 4:53 PM facing west toward Randolph. The second was shot at 4:56 PM. @NWSTwinCities @FOX9 @ian_leonard #mnwx #wxtwitter
I’d also note that in the video shot at 4:53 PM (between the 30 and 40-second mark), this small tendril can be observed with some more darkness at the ground beneath. When scrolling between the times, that darkness can be seen moving with the tendril. Hope this helps! @NWSTwinCities @FOX9 @ian_leonard #mnwx #wxtwitter

I’d call this “backyard” chase a success! #mnwx #wxtwitter

4:56 PM outside Cannon Falls, MN near Randolph. Was brief. @NWSTwinCities #mnwx
The mini 4 drone has been repaired. Its primary use will be capturing cinematic storm video when conditions are less favorable (stray sprinkles or light rain). I’m confident it can handle it. After its accident, it sat in shallow water for 20 minutes as I looked for it, and was easily repairable💀. The mini 5 will be used in safer flight conditions, and shots to maximize its dynamic range.
Not retiring the Mini 4, it’s just under repair (fooled around in sport mode by trees). Plus, I think the camera rotation feature will help enhance some of the cinematography.

Will there ever be a day cloud phase satellite product on Radarscope? @RadarScope #wxtwitter

$3 dollars should get you an EF3 minimum.
PSA: if the cap holds tomorrow, just stop by the tornado simulator in Grand Rapids MN to zero meter an EF1 #wxtwitter

Currently at the cabin on Dead Lake (in the pink circle). Seeing some clearing coming in post morning storms. Might catch a something later #mnwx #wxtwitter

Going to my cabin tomorrow (on Dead Lake) for the week. Seems like the tornadoes might come too 💀 #mnwx #wxtwitter

Interesting last paragraph in the day 4-8… #wxtwitter
Have added the DJI Action 6 and Osmo Nano to my equipment arsenal. After fooling around in southern MN yesterday, the potential for amazing POV chase footage with the nano is endless. Still have to tweak some things to my liking, but very satisfied!

Surface winds could be better, but I like the 3CAPE. Might have a showdown with the Rochester highway cam
As much as I’d like to, timing constraints will prevent me from chasing Illinois tomorrow. However, I could see a few clouds or maybe catch some raindrops in Minnesota. If I go out, the i90 corridor doesn’t seem too bad #mnwx #wxtwitter
