Weather wise, the Twin Lakes Area has had an active spring. There have been a couple of periods of significant severe weather on March 14 and April 2, and a group known as the Arkansas Storm Hunters were chasing the storms on both days.
Jordan Solomon is the owner of Arkansas Storm Hunters and a local resident. Solomon was Monday’s guest on the Talk of the Town on KTLO-FM, and he says he was chasing the Bakersfield tornado in mid-March, which actually started in Baxter County.

When the second round hit the area near the beginning of this month, Solomon says he was further south in Brinkley at the time.

When it comes to the period known as severe weather season, the area known as Tornado Alley, which is mainly the central plains of the United States, will normally see its worst conditions between April and June. There is another area known by storm chasers as Dixie Alley, made up Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Solomon says Dixie Alley often experiences its peak sooner than Tornado Alley.

The storm chasing done by Solomon and his team can be followed by looking for Arkansas Storm Hunters on Facebook.
