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 strong kinematics are ejecting toward the Great Lakes Region, but a strong southwesterly low-level jet should persist ahead of this squall line into the afternoon.

A majority of close-range forecast models show a band of supercells with #tornado potential approaching the I-35 corridor by 6-7 am. This will either be a skinny squall line and a whiff or could cause some problems. The trend seems to be toward a tornado or two.
Stay tuned to severe weather watches and warnings during the morning commute OKC!

SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE Dixie Alley on Friday January 9!
We are watching a potent trough ejection forecast at the end of this week, with severe weather and even tornadoes possible across the lower Mississippi River Valley. There is still a lot of discrepancy between the models on the evolution of this trough, and the margins are razor thin during the winter. We will continue to watch this Thursday-Friday storm system for activation of storm chase mode
