He also keeps saying "little eddies" and I have no idea what he's talking about

Not crazy about him, he's said a few not smart things tonight. And they've been slow catching up with TOG's also compared to other stations and the guys online. But back to the subject at hand.

This is misinformation. 1000 CAPE (heck, even 500) is more than enough to support strong tornadoes given sufficient shear (which is in abundance today).

Sorry about that! Was sharing the graphic to show Cape was still high, and more widespread than previously shown. Don't need to be making any predictions with that info. My message was too short without it lol

Obviously talking about an alternate version of Ed, Edd, and Eddie.

Heavy debris on I-65 and Hwy 31 in Calera.

I think the people who were starting to do the post-mortem on this event early are going to be in for a rude awakening over the next few hours given what's transpiring across S AL right now (and just did in Calera).

 

[buckeye05]

I think the highest potential for additional strong, long trackers will originate from far southern MS/AL. The Citronelle, AL cell has me particularly concerned as it moves to the northeast. Not much to get in its way.

 

[SmokeEater]

Good call down south, TW near Citronelle in S AL.

 

[Clancy]

Tornado on the ground NE of Citronelle.

 

[AJS]

Cell north of Citronelle, Alabama looks very concerning right now.

He’s probably referring to circulation within the atmosphere as something similar to an eddy current in a river, which is sort of what tornadoes are, in a sense, but it’s not the terminology I would be using. Especially when you’re on air and trying to warn laymen about the danger that they could be in.

33/40 is going to their safe place

 

[Clancy]

Spann & Co. seeking shelter due to the incoming storms.

 

[akt1985]

Crew at ABC 33/40 sheltering in place with new Tornado Warning.

 

[AJS]

Another concerning area of rotation East of Grove Hill in Alabama. Could use a tornado warning.

 

[jiharris0220]

Spann & Co. seeking shelter due to the incoming storms.

This may sound a bit dark but hopefully people seeing him take action will push them to take this more seriously.

 

[MikeP]

Evan is doing ok, however, Jason Simpson and James were the ultimate team....

My forecasting classes covered eddies, and while I will not go into details about them, just know it is basically a cuter term for turbulence.

 

[AJS]

Unfortunately, looks to be a lot of concerning areas of rotation evident on radar now.

 

[Clancy]

This may sound a bit dark but hopefully people seeing him take action will push them to take this more seriously.

I hope so, especially after hearing about Calera, damage sounds particularly severe there.
