Storm Chasing Should Be Exhilarating — Not Frustrating
You used PTO, drove 8 hours, and came home with nothing but a gas receipt and a time-lapse of anvil clouds. Again.
You scroll Twitter on the drive home and see chasers who were 30 miles east of you standing in front of a wedge. They had the same data you did.
You check the SPC, stare at models you half-understand, pick a target that feels right, and hope. That's not a system. That's gambling with vacation days.
Meet Gabe Garfield
I've been chasing tornadoes for 25+ years. I've intercepted 200+ tornadoes, including two EF5s. I was the lead forecaster for VORTEX-2 — the largest tornado research project in history. I'm a Fox Weather contributor and I hold degrees in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma.
I remember my early chases — busts, bad decisions, and long drives home with nothing. It took me years of painful trial and error to build the forecasting system I use today. This course is that system, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
"I Learned More in This Course Than Years of Tours and YouTube"
Hear from Monte Kay — a Texas hobbyist who ditched expensive tours and scattered YouTube for a structured system. 2 minutes.
What Students Are Doing in the Field
Jim F.
Pennsylvania
"Thanks to things I learned in Gabe's course, I was better able to decipher real-time data and keep from biting on storms too early. The result: chasing an isolated supercell approaching Calcutta that nearly produced a tornado."
Ken G.
Tennessee
"I utilized what I learned from the course to determine storm mode, motion, speed, and nocturnal timing all fell on the negative side — so I stayed home. Watched an area of rotation produce storm damage 1.3 miles from my house. Course tuition is well spent."
Gabriel C.
Arkansas
"This has allowed me to be on several tornadoes during my first season as a storm chaser."
What Students Are Saying
David O.
Virginia
"I've been storm chasing for nearly a decade, both with groups and solo. Even so, I've found the course's content immensely helpful, both in teaching me new areas and helping me correct my own misunderstandings while forecasting."
Jonah J.
Iowa
"Incredibly helpful. Led me to witnessing my first fully condensed tornado! Well worth every penny."
Monte K.
Texas
"Learned more in the course than over a few years of chase tours and random YouTube videos."
Garrett B.
Virginia
"Gabe's course has thoroughly helped me improve my forecasting skills and plan of attack. Every module has helped tremendously. If you are curious as a chaser as to what skills you really need to dial in, then this course is an absolute must!"
Mike H.
Michigan
"Gabe has put all the essential information needed for a successful storm chase. He covers the science behind how storms are formed and what makes them become tornado producers."
Jim C.
Ohio
"It's a very good program! It's delivered in small chunks so it's easily digestible! And you can go back and rewatch each segment as many times as it takes to learn the concept. Worth every penny!"
Ameya J.
Oklahoma
"Gabe's 20+ years of storm chasing expertise, including two VORTEX missions, is distilled into a comprehensive online course that teaches safe and scientific storm chasing through short, easy-to-understand lessons."

What Happens After You Enroll
Hour 1
Understand How Supercells Form, Read Radar, and Decode Meteorological Charts
You'll know why some storms produce tornadoes and most don't, how to read radar reflectivity and velocity, and how to interpret the charts that experienced chasers use every day. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
Hour 4
Read an SPC Outlook and Build a Target Area
You'll know exactly what categorical risks, probabilistic graphics, and mesoscale discussions mean — then use model data to narrow a broad risk area into a specific target zone. This is the skill that separates chasers who intercept from chasers who bust.
Hour 5
Pick the Right Storm From a Cluster
You'll understand storm mode, how to read radar for rotation signatures, and how to select the storm most likely to produce — instead of chasing the prettiest cell and going home empty.
Your First Chase Day
Execute the Full Playbook — Forecast to Intercept
Morning forecast, target selection, departure timing, real-time positioning, safety protocols. You follow the system. The system delivers the storm. That's how Gabriel intercepted multiple tornadoes in his first season.
Your 6-Hour Path to Chase-Ready
1
Forecasting Mastery
After this: You can read an SPC outlook, decode model data, and identify a chase-worthy setup — on your own.
The atmospheric ingredients, chart-reading techniques, and forecast workflow I use before every chase day. No meteorology degree required.
2
Target Selection
After this: You can draw a target area and commit to a departure plan with confidence.
How to narrow a broad risk area into a specific target zone — the skill that separates chasers who intercept from chasers who bust.
3
Chase Strategy
After this: You can pick the right storm from a cluster, position safely, and adjust in real time.
Real-time radar interpretation, storm selection, road network planning, and the positioning principles that keep you in front of the action — not behind it.
4
Gear & Ethics
After this: You have a gear checklist, a vehicle prep plan, and a clear safety protocol.
What to buy, what to skip, how to set up your vehicle, and the unwritten rules of the chasing community. No wasted money on gear you don't need.
5
Case Studies
After this: You can walk through a real chase day start to finish — forecast to intercept — and understand every decision.
Real chases from my 25+ years, broken down decision by decision. Where I targeted, what went right, what went wrong, and exactly why.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm a complete beginner with no storm chasing experience?
That's exactly who this is built for. The course starts with how storms form and how to read basic charts — no meteorology degree required. You'll build confidence step by step until you can plan and execute a chase day on your own.
I've chased before but bust often — will this actually help?
Yes. The full tornado forecasting playbook is in the course — the same one behind 200+ intercepts. Follow it and you'll cut busts down dramatically, even during bad seasons. The course is particularly strong for chasers who have experience in the field but no structured forecasting system.
How is this different from free YouTube videos?
YouTube teaches you individual facts. This teaches you a system. You get the exact forecasting workflow, target selection process, and real-time positioning strategy I use on every chase — organized into a sequence that builds on itself. No rabbit holes, no contradictory advice, no guessing which video to watch next.
I'm really busy — how long does it take?
6 hours total, broken into short modules. You could do it in a weekend or spread it over a few evenings. And you have lifetime access, so you can rewatch any module before a chase day.
Storm chasing is dangerous. How does the course address safety?
Safety is woven into every module — not treated as an afterthought. You'll learn risk assessment, positioning principles that keep you out of harm's way, and real-time decision-making protocols including tactical retreats. I've chased for 25+ years without a major incident. That's not luck — it's the system.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 30 days, no questions asked. Go through the course. If you don't feel more confident planning a chase day, email me and I'll refund every penny.
Storm Season Won't Wait. Neither Should You.
The chasers who intercept in April are the ones who prepared in March. Every chase day you're not ready is a vacation day you might waste.
