Only once a year do the world’s top storm chasers, researchers, meteorologists, filmmakers, content creators, influencers, and weather enthusiasts come together.

For three powerful days, they unite, forging connections, exchanging ideas, and creating a global buzz that ripples across science, media, and social platforms.

Our Mission

The National Storm Chaser Summit, NSCS, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting education, preparedness and safety for ALL storm chasers. NSCS was established in 2021 to provide a yearly summit experience for storm chasers and weather enthusiasts alike. Our summits feature some of the greatest storm chasers, first responders and meteorologists in the industry! We support aspiring STEM and photography students with the annual Paul T. Samaras Scolarship Fund. The Board of Directors voted and decided that there will be multiple scholarships awarded in 2025.

The National Storm Chaser Summit - NSCS - events are a great way to engage with fellow weather geeks, watch storm footage and incredible storm photography and learn more about the cutting edge severe weather research taking place in Tornado Alley from the scientists themselves! We even have a karaoke night and a charity bowling tournament to raise money for victims of severe weather. We are now a 501C3 Nonprofit.
