Weather Nerd & Storm Chaser Hats

Some people check the forecast. Others keep the radar open all day, narrate it to the room, and walk onto the porch the moment a tornado warning goes out. These hats are for them, and for the actual storm chaser. On the StormTrack chaser forum the calendar year starts on March 1, and the countdown reads "seven months till chase season." The hobby keeps growing: National Geographic reported that the Twisters reboot caused a surge in amateur storm chasing, and Tempest Tours said its season had completely sold out by the end of June. Two badges name it plainly: WEATHER NERD and STORM CHASER. NOT MY FIRST TORNADO is the veteran's flag. I GO OUTSIDE DURING TORNADO WARNINGS owns the instinct everyone else finds alarming, and THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ME ON SPEED DIAL borrows a chaser's brag from that same forum. IF JIM CANTORE SHOWS UP I LEAVE runs on the meme that his arrival means it is time to get out of town; the Santa Rosa County sheriff in Florida once issued him a joke trespass warning during Hurricane Michael. HURRICANE SEASON SPAGHETTI MODEL ANALYST is for anyone who has studied some 21 forecast tracks tangled on one map, THE WEATHER CHANNEL IS MY COMFORT SHOW turns cable weather into a bedtime habit, and I NARRATE THE WEATHER RADAR OUT LOUD covers the play-by-play. Each design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, and the tornado-warning and Cantore lines each get a second colorway.
