Hi, I’m extreme meteorologist and storm chaser, Reed Timmer, known for embedding myself into some of the most severe weather storms and scenarios imaginable, so that I can research, report and warn others before natural disasters strike.
While most prefer to avoid the bad news that comes with bad weather, I charge towards it; intercepting tornadoes and hurricanes with my armored vehicle, the SRV Dominator, and launching trackable meteorological sensors into their strongest winds. My team has deployed probes into tornadoes using drones, small aircraft, and even rockets, gathering measurements never-before-recorded on earth. Documenting all things related to atmospheric science is my passion.
I’ve been featured on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Netflix, The Weather Channel, Disney, PBS, AccuWeather and more! I’ve been featured on Jay Leno’s Garage, and worked with the legendary Richard Hammond, from Top Gear & Grand Tour. It’s insane where my weather career has taken me.

The latest HRRR suggests a supercell with #tornado potential may track near Winnipeg, Manitoba this evening during 6-9 pm.
A few supercells may also evolve southward into eastern North Dakot

Illinois could reach the most tornadoes for any state in recorded History with an active summer into fall severe weather season!
A few dozen more tornadoes in Illinois this fall and that state will pass Texas for the most all-time in 2026. Illinois has confirmed just over 200 tornadoes so far, as the termini of the jet streaks has hammered the Corn Belt repeatedly since early Spring, regardless of trough shape/geometry.
The Polar Jet Stream has also been displaced way to the south for the entire summer, leading to an insane ring of fire pattern overtop the summertime anticyclone over the southern Plains.
Long-range forecast models show an increasingly active pattern for severe weather and tornadoes into September.
Never stop chasing
