Join me on a once in a lifetime adventure! Ride along as my chase partner and learn firsthand how to chase, forecast and photograph severe storms and tornadoes! 

 

*There are currently 6 people on the 2025 short notice tour wait list. Only 2 people max can ride along for a tour (1-3 days). If you want to get on the list for 2025 or 2026, contact me now using the form below for more info. No deposit is required.
 

As an expert chaser with 25 years of experience, I love guiding others on the exciting journey of chasing storms and experiencing the breathtaking beauty and power of Mother Nature! I also enjoy teaching those who want to learn how to chase on their own. Helping you to learn not only how to forecast and choose a target, but also how to read the sky and make quick, crucial decisions while in the middle of the chase. Plus so much more involved with a chase day and how to stay safe while doing it.

I offer private, short notice "on call" storm chasing tours / workshops with a max of 2 people, in order to maximize our odds of intercepting severe storms and tornadoes. This means you are my storm chasing partner, rather than one of 8 people in the back on the van. 

​

The tour will be customized to meet YOUR chasing goals. Do you want to learn more about forecasting? Or photography? Or how to "read the sky"? Or do you just want to experience the adventure of a chase and witness the awe inspiring storms? We will chat a couple times before the chase. We can also setup some additional zoom calls for mentoring sessions before or after the trip. 

​

**Upon Request, I do offer a limited number of planned 5-10 day tours for 2 people max. May 2026 has been booked already. If you want to plan ahead, it would be good to contact me now.*

What is a Short Notice Tour?
A short notice tour means that we only chase when the forecast looks promising for organized, severe storms. I specifically wait for days that we are most likely to see supercells and possibly tornadoes. Supercells are the best type of storm to chase, as they can take on incredible “Mothership” structures and make for some beautiful photographs. Also, supercells are the type of storm that will most likely produce a tornado.

​

Why Short Notice Tours? 
Short notice tours maximize our odds of intercepting severe storms and tornadoes. And we rarely have a “down” day visiting local tourist spots. For example, one client booked with me for 3 years in a row. Each trip was 2 days of chasing. We saw supercells all 6 of those days, and tornadoes on 2 of those trips. On one day we witnessed 7 tornadoes, and the other day we saw 5. Another client came out with me for a 2 day chase and we saw multiple tornadoes on both days. He had previously been on 2 separate 7 day tours with larger companies, in vans full of people. He never witnessed a tornado on those tours and barely saw a thunderstorm during one of those weeks. Of course, storms are tornadoes are NEVER guaranteed! The weather will do what the weather does. But our odds will be much greater if we chase when we know the forecast looks active, rather than if we plan a random week during storm season.

How does it work?
Fill out that contact form below to let me know you're interested! I will setup a free consultation call so we can discuss the best tour options for you.

​

You can choose a month that you would prefer to chase, or be open to any month. You will be added to a list for that month. The list will be a “first come, first served” basis. If there is an active severe weather pattern setting up, I will contact those on the top of the list first to see if they want to choose that trip. I will work my way down the list. If there aren’t many chase opportunities during the month of choice, you can choose to come along during the following month instead.

The most common cities for arrival and departure will be in Minneapolis, Kansas City or Oklahoma City. We can determine different options based on the severe weather system, your location of residence, and whether or not you will be driving or flying in. 

​

If you decide to sign up for a tour, I will send you more detailed information about what to expect and how to prepare, pack, etc. 

 

How much does it cost? 

Drop me a note in the submission form below, and I will send you current tour rates and options based on what you are looking for. I will also setup a free consultation phone call so we can discuss your storm chasing goals and the best tour options for you. Rates can vary some, depending on your location, time of year, type of trip planned. If you want to book a solo chase partner experience (just you and me!), the rates are a little higher than if you are open to a trip with 1 other guest (2 guests max). Short notice tours are priced per day, while planned 5-10 day trips are a set cost for the entire trip. ​
