Any suggestions from the tapers running or have previously owned CEMC6s'? Links to suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I use Shure A81WS screens outdoors! and DPA Screens indoors. I am also very fond of the Rode Dead Kitten fur screen covers. They fit over the DPA screens perfectly ;)

It depends. do you need it for a fixed position, or do you wanna move around while recording? Also, how much wind protection do you need? You're stormchaser?
For fixed setups you could go for a Rycote Miniscreen or Softie, and clamp the mic to a stand or something.
When moving around while recording you should get a mic suspension, a basket type or Babyball cover, and wear your wind-protection over it (furry or shorthair).
But that solution could get pricey, like twice that of your microphone.. Foam covers only protect from the lightest winds.
Note: the filter & attenuate knobs on your mic could pass through some wind, you could use a little gaffertape to seal off.

I disagree. I have been using the "bigass shures" aka Shure A81WS screens for over 10+ years now! and I must admit! wind has never really been a problem with me. I've recorded at red rocks in 2001 all the way to torrential downpours, and the bigass shures can def hold their own! As always, YMMV tho ;)
Best of luck bro!

I started running storm chasers from The Windcutter (http://thewindcutter.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=1) with DPA UA0896 screens.

Run the same dpa screens but with the soundmaster windcutter and have been pleased with the results

I'm really happy with them, fit and function is great. They're very well made and have been worth the money IMO.
