What would be the benefit(s) of being a certified storm chaser vs. and amateur storm chaser?
Posted by admin on May 16, 2012
I want to be a meteorologist and a storm chaser when I grow up. I’ll be 17 next month. Is there an ae requirement to become a Storm Chaser? What are the requirements to become a certified storm chaser and how much more benefits would I have? Would I be able to stay during a mandatory evacuating to film the eye wall of a category 5 Hurricane? Would I be able to film a Tornado and leave the classroom if it comes to my school during the school day without getting in any trouble? Sources?
Storm chasers are not certified by any government or professional organization. Some people do it for a living and can be called professional storm chasers, and meteorologists can go out in the field for storm data, but for most storm chasers it’s a hobby. There is no such thing as an "emergency storm photographer."
If you’re interested in weather, stay in school and learn all you can about it. I suspect that weather research will be a growth industry in the near future, with good career opportunities.

Storm Chasers Season 5 episode 1 (Dixie Alley Outbreak)
Dixie Alley Outbreak
April 27th, 2011 will go down as the deadliest Tornado day in well over half a century. Hundreds of twisters are touching down all over parts of Mississippi and Alabama known to chasers as “Dixie Alley”. There are multiple confirmed EF-5 tornadoes, the most powerful classification. Teams Dominator, TWISTEX and TIV are all in Dixie Alley and on the hunt, with front row seats to some of the day’s most breathtaking storms. Acting as storm spotters, they’re reporting the tornadoes and attempting to get warnings out. But when a violent twister tracks toward the heart of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, all three teams are faced with death and destruction on an unimaginable scale.

Becoming a storm chaser in Wisconsin?
Posted by admin on May 12, 2012
I’d like to become certified as a volunteer Storm Chaser. Does anyone know where I can find information on taking classes, etc., particularly in Wisconsin?
Here is the schedule I found for you from the Milwaukee NWS Forecast Office site, but it looks like it is for all of WI:

If you really want to be a chaser, going to spotter classes is absolutely a great first step!
Another site you should start visiting is this:
