TEN YEARS AGO TODAY was my first tornado, this teeny little guy that left some very light damage outside of Knox PA on Sept 17, 2016 but was never officially recorded. May or may not still be the only tornado I've seen for certain #stormchasing #stormchaser #nature

I'm itching for some fall colors in the highlands. I don't care where the lands are, they just need to be high #fallcolors #fallfoliage #nature #naturephotography #landscape #outdoors

Finally some edits from a spectacular chase day in northwest PA and northeast OH on Sept 2. Featuring a handful of weakly rotating storms, a smooth bowl supercell tossing lightning bolts, and a giant, dramatic shelf cloud looming across Lake Erie. And maybe a slightly damaged camera

I had a spectacular chase day in northeast Ohio and northwest PA yesterday. I encountered multiple weakly rotating storms before heading to Lake Erie where I saw a sculpted supercell and two immense squalls with a major shelf and tons of lightning. Lots of stuff to get through

Here's the partial solar eclipse from the other day. I love how these turned out because the colors and textures through the thin cloud cover make me picture eyes and deep-space imagery #solareclipse #photography #nature #naturephotography #art

It is with tremendous shame that I have only fuzzy phone pictures of this shelf cloud in southwest PA a couple days ago to present, as it was after work and I didn't have my camera. It's probably the greatest looking storm I've ever been unable to shoot properly. Video is up tomorrow

Connor Sipe @paweatherphoto.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Cool wispy shelf cloud in western PA yesterday. I missed out on waterspouts over Lake Erie due to car battery issues but I'm hoping it's been fixed bc this continual northwesterly flow pattern has my attention and also I need to get to work

021

Connor Sipe @paweatherphoto.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I had a fun chase at Lake Erie on July 21. I decided to avoid the hills in SW PA/SE OH and instead went to check out the lake setup which had my tornadic waterspout senses tingling. It paid off bc I caught a clear funnel cloud over the water! Green color, shelf, and mammatus too

Connor Sipe @paweatherphoto.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I'm still not 100% sure what to make of this. Tornadic waterspout, surface-based waterspout, severe weather type hybrid, unclear if its contacting the water. I think I can safely call it a waterspout anyway, super happy I caught it

Connor Sipe @paweatherphoto.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Watching a linear storm come off Lake Erie earlier I caught some kind of waterspout funnel southwest of Erie, PA. On the right bookend of a surging bow with a fair amount of 3CAPE and surface vorticity in the area, which is what lured me to the lake #pawx

No better time to celebrate July Fourth in my favorite way: by rewatching Jaws, a movie about a vain, image-obsessed politician who ignores a scientist's warnings and misrepresents the truth to the media after people get killed

Fun little surprise Tuesday evening in western PA as some wind shear got a couple of thundershowers spinning and the lightning on the forward side ramped up. I didn't capture any video but I did get a decent time lapse. The fireflies came out too

This is great news! Thank you to everyone who helped to sound the alarm or contacted their reps to fight this. I’m no sure what will happen to the sensors already pulled from off the coast of Washington, but the rest of the network is saved for now. Keep fighting! It matters!

Based on the NWS survey for the EF0 tornado in Beaver County PA on Sunday, it would have to be in these photos under that lowered QLCS vortex as it passed west of Beaver Falls, but I didn't notice anything visually at about six miles away

Some wide-reaching spider lightning over eastern Ohio and western PA Wednesday night produced below the anvils of disorganized but vigorous storms. These events are difficult to shoot because these lightning discharges are infrequent and can cover a huge area at once

May 31 is a big weather day - it's the date of the remarkable and tragic El Reno, OK tornado in 2013, which I wrote about extensively in my book; and in Pennsylvania, it's the day of the 1985 tornadoes and the disastrous 1889 Johnstown Flood, which I've got videos on. Links below
