Interesting storm chaser day for a couple of well known chasers.

First, Brad Arnold went live here in Huntsville as he looked for his best option to possibly spot a local tornado, first heading east to Scottsboro, Alabama flanking a warned storm that passed near the Hytop Nexrad, before retracing his steps to intercept a storm moving into Alabama from Mississippi, that also became a warned storm as it neared Huntsville. He followed it from west of Decatur through town until it fizzled out near Brownsboro, and he called it a day.
Freddy McKinney was out in Colorado and was in a tornado warning zone that turned into a reprise of Saturday's Kansas dust storm fiasco Brandon Copic and others experienced in the middle of dust so thick they couldn't see the road. Freddy's windshield had so much dirt on it his washer system couldn't keep up, and if he was near a tornado, he couldn't have seen it. I had to leave his stream when Brad Arnold's chase became more involving with that second storm and I needed to focus my attention on the storm coming through town. Fortunately, that storm went north of me and I don't think it ever reached the ground, but it did cause my phone to alert.
