Storm chasing

Following supercell thunderstorms across open country to watch them up close.

Storm chasing means tracking powerful thunderstorms with forecasts and radar, then positioning safely to watch lightning, hail and sometimes tornadoes. Guided tours led by meteorologists are the safe way to start, as storms are dangerous and fast-moving.
