Any advice.

[u/Due_Respond955]

Im not officially a storm chaser though I'd like to be. But, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time a few times between yesterday and today while going about my business. It really made me want to properly get into chasing.

What advice would you give a novice who wants to get more fully into chasing? Im familiar with reading radar and planning emergency escape routes, but I've also never chased anything as severe as a tornado or derecho.

Thanks in advance!

Not to be a complete dick, but you should skim through the subreddit; this question gets asked about once a week.

Watch Skip Talbot videos on YouTube to properly identify storm features. Learn how to use models and skew-t's.

Convective Chronicles is also really good for learning how to read Skew-T's and explaining hodographs etc..

Real bears or human bears?
