June 7, Eastern New Mexico Storms - I play catch-up with a line of strong storms that produces hail and torrential rain over a wide area of eastern NM and the TX and OK Panhandles. Tough chase, though I do eventually get some nice storm structure and a decent rainbow.
June 8, Eastern New Mexico Supercells - I observe two spectacular supercells. The first was SVR-warned for nearly 4 hours as it produced deep hail accumulations near Wagon Mound and spectacular lowerings associated with microbursts west and southwest of Roy. The second, though not severe, was one of the most photogenic storms I have seen. Includes numerous pictures, video, and radar image.

July 1, Hail and Lightning Northwest of Pagosa Springs, CO - On a local chase less than 20 miles from home, I encounter a burst of hail and a dramatic display of lightning in and near the San Juan Mountains. Includes lightning photos and a short video of the hail.

August 18, Eastern Colorado Storms - I encounter multiple supercells, high wind, hail, flooding, a possible funnel cloud, and a spectacular display of sunlit mammatus as I work my way south from the Limon area to SE of La Junta, CO. Includes lots of photos and discussion of the severe weather setup.
September 5, Strong Storms and a Funnel Cloud in Archuleta County, CO - I intercept a strong storm near Chromo, CO and am rewarded with a close-up view of a funnel cloud. Then later, I head out to intercept another intense storm as it moves into the Pagosa Springs area. Includes photos, video, and discussion of the day's weather setup.
October 6, Strong Storms near Albuquerque and Santa Fe - The storms kind of came to me today, giving me a chance to view strong and photogenic storms near Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM. Includes several photos.
