Tim Vasquez

Who is Tim Vasquez? Tim Vasquez is among the top experts on weather analysis and forecasting. Tim began chasing in 1986, learning firsthand from master storm forecasters Alan Moller and Tim Marshall. He was an Air Force meteorologist during much of the 1990s, and forecasted weather in Africa for NATO humanitarian flights into Rwanda in 1994; for a ferry flight of the Space Shuttle and its carrier aircraft (Mission STS-68); for a 50th Anniversary flyover of B-1B bombers over Normandy; for the United Nations Command at Yongsan, Korea; and for F-117A Stealth Fighters at the Tonopah Test Range when the planes were still semi-secret. He programmed and wrote the Digital Atmosphere Workstation system which is in use by thousands of private meteorologists, hobbyists, and weather agencies worldwide. For five storm seasons, chasers have depended on him and his Chase Hotline briefing services, which positions storm chasers in the optimal spots for tornado action. His books, including Weather Forecasting Handbook, Weather Map Handbook, and Storm Chasing Handbook are popular titles and are used in weather courses at Valparaiso University, St. Cloud State University, the University of Georgia, St. Louis University, and the University of North Dakota, and by others.
