Non-zero chance of a brief landspout #tornado along and west of I-5 between Redding, California and Roseburg, Oregon today. Strong thunderstorms may also feature hail and gusty winds.

Severe weather season is ramping up, with the next week looking to be particularly active across the Southern Plains and Ozarks in the U.S. Here are some of my favorite photos from over the years, all captured within an hour or so of home.

While I still try to do at least one larger storm chasing outing per year, allowing me to range further afield, I've come to appreciate opportunities closer to home. In that regard, next week could keep me busy. We'll see!
