Overview/About Me

Thanks for stopping by my blog dedicated to chasing severe weather. On here you will find my forecasts, chase accounts, and recaps. Also we will have a live stream during our chases which can be accessed from this link: Live Chase Cam As for myself, I am 31 years old and have lived in Colorado most of my life with a few pit stops in Orlando, FL and Los Angeles, CA. I am based out of Englewood near DU and Washington Park. I work in television for the Versus network in the Comcast Media Center in Littleton where I help coordinate and run a lot of their live events including the NHL, IRL, WEC, PBR, and NCAA football and basketball. Personally, I've been a weather enthusiast since the day I saw my first tornado back in 1990 when I was a wee lad. I've really only gotten serious about studying severe weather in the past 3 years or so. I am constantly trying to improve my forecasting and understanding of weather every day. The "science gene" skipped me big time so I also love the challenge understanding and predicting weather presents. I can be contacted through email at: scottahammel@yahoo.com Again, thanks for taking a look at my blog and comments are always welcome... Scott

Possible Hurricane Chase??!

Filed Under (Forecast & Outlook) by Scott Hammel on 02-09-2009

Well, probably not.  BUT hurricane Jimena is on target to hit the Baja Coast early Thursday morning and then move almost directly north to guess where?  San Diego!   Exactly the place where I’ll be enjoying 5 days of vacation starting on?  You guessed it; Thursday morning.  Hopefully Jimena will make landfall and move back out to sea rather than straight up the coast north.  My hurricane knowledge is nil, so take that for what it’s worth.  The forecast in San Diego currently is still a bit unsure about what the weekend has in store.  One update shows partly cloudy with slight chances of rain, while others show a weekend full of Jimena left-overs.  It’s my cousins wedding so I hope we get some good weather but I’ll definitely have my camera with me to shoot some potential post hurricane goodness!  Either way, bring it on.

    It *should* get sucked into Mexico.

    Looks like it will head back to sea before it hits SoCal. Oh well, at least my cousin should have a dry wedding!
