Learn to Forecast and Chase Tornadoes
Tornado Alley Chasing is an opportunity for storm chasers and weather enthusiasts that want to learn how to chase severe weather. My name is David Williams, and my mission is to give people from around the world a partner in storm chasing. I will teach you how to forecast and chase severe storms and tornadoes throughout the U.S. and Canada. For those established chasers that live overseas, I welcome you to join me as a storm chasing partner. Tornado Alley has some of the wildest and most photogenic weather on Earth. I want to meet and build relationships with storm chasers, and I want to do that by partnering with small, enthusiastic groups. If you have no storm chasing or forecasting experience, but you want to learn, then I can teach you. I love chasing severe weather, and I want those that share my passion to have an opportunity to pursue it.

The Benefits of Chasing with Me
Me enjoying a great intercept with the crew!
When comparing storm chasing tours and experiences, I offer a superior chase experience that is grounded in education and active engagement. Based on what my chase partners have to say, the following are some of the leading reasons why you should consider chasing with me (see Chaser Testimonials for their in-depth feedback):
- Outstanding price - In comparison to all other storm chasing companies that charge an average of $400 per day, I only charge $100 a day. I do not make a profit from running this experience.
- Small groups - I carry a maximum of 4 chasers in my vehicle (including me).
- I screen all potential chasers - That's right! I have a video chat/interview with every person that joins me in order to make sure they are of sound body and mind and a good fit for the group.
- You get a bed to yourself - Surprised to hear that? Well you shouldn't be. Most storm chasing tour companies require guests to share beds. That's 4 people per hotel room. When chasing with me, you will share a room with one other chaser and get a queen bed to yourself.
- Direct instruction in a small-group setting - I teach the chasers that join me the 3 main disciplines of meteorology, forecasting, and radar interpretation and how to apply those disciplines while actively chasing severe weather. We discuss, interpret and learn about meteorology principles, forecasting techniques, and all the models and data that are used for tracking and finding severe weather and tornadoes. You will not receive the same level of one-on-one instruction from other chasing experiences.
- Active participation - You are a storm chaser when you join me. This is not a tour! You will be an active participant in the chase and I will consider you a chase partner.
