@ReedTimmerUSA Great stuff, maybe we’ll cross paths again in the Northern Plains before the 2025 insanity winds down. Never stop chasing!

@a_guidarelli It’s not even close, and I’ve missed most of the big days this year. (Luckily I got one, so I have no right to complain) 2025 is on pace to match the tornado count from last year, but the amount of top tier tornado event this year has not been seen in years. The Plains are back.

@MetzStormMedia Do you have a time stamp for this? I was right under that storm when it looked like it was trying to wrap up.

This was the closest to a tornado that the supercell got today, SW of Lime Springs, Iowa! 6/25/25. I was too far away with poles in my way to see any lower. Was anyone else close or under this? Is that a chaser in the vehicle in front of me? #iawx

Awful idea. The RRFS can't handle low-level cold air masses nearly as well as the NAM. There are also a litany of problems running the FV3 on a convection-allowing grid, some of which are outlined here x.com/VORTEXJeff/sta…
Weather Track US@weathertrackus

It's official! The NAM, HRW & HREF will be completely discontinued, and replaced with the RRFS in early 2026. The RRFS is almost an all-in-one high-resolution forecast system, with multiple high-res 3km members, which will also be a part of the REFS, with a 60hr Ensemble, aiming to replace the HREF.

Terrible proposal. Has anyone done actual verification with it? The RRFS is so bad that it’s virtually useless for convection. Losing the HREF and SREF would be huge blows to convective forecasting as well. Hopefully they reconsider OR do something to fix the RRFS.

Saw several ground-scraping wall clouds across northern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota today. Each photo is a different storm:

This was one of the most unique vantage points I’ve had of a tornado, in Beltrami Island State Forest last night. I watched this storm produce a few intermittent tornadoes in the secluded woods of northern Minnesota.

@AdamLucioWX @NWSGrandForks It was definitely a later show than I hoped. I was very close to bailing on the chase, but that thing finally wrapped up. If LL lapse rates were just a little better, it could have been a big day. Watching that first bean shrivel around 21z was sad. Had to wait 3 more hours 🙄

@stormchaserQ @NWSGrandForks I believe that...we ended up on a very narrow tree lined road so snowmobile paths makes sense...then I looked way down on the map and noticed it dead ended so we just called it there. Stinky tor waited until it got out of the farm land.

Alternate photos of the supercell that produced a few intermittent tornadoes between Grygla and Malcolm, MN. Between 7:21 and 7:34 PM. Found myself on a questionable road, standing on my car roof to see over the treeline. Got a car full of bugs too, but worth it! @NWSGrandForks
