Supercell 89

Streaming live from Tuscaloosa now, not sure if thats a wall cloud or a wedge tornado? Whatever it is it does not look good for those guys there EDIT - Its a rain wrapped wedge

Large wedge near Tuscaloosa

Edit - Twister sisters near Parrish from that Berry/Oakman and a debris cloud.

Another possible tornado eyeing up Hamilton and Detroit

Large violent twister heading for Oakman.

Crickey! thats huge

The cell to the south west of Tuscaloosa is ramping up now, could be one to watch soon. Mine went down but i refreshed it a couple of times and its working now Looks like Reed has a got a wedge twister just watching the stream now not seen anything yet

39 Tornado Reports so far today according to the SPC. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/today.html 39 Tornado Reports so far today according to the SPC. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/today.html

Large violent tornado just north of Tuscaloosa, it looks to the untrained eye that its heading in the direction of Cullman? Worrying if it is Another large one near Hamilton, passing to the north this time thankfully

The cell below the Pickens one could clip Birmingham itself but the two cells below that could give a direct hit if they keep the same track.

Another possible tornado at Pickens, they reckon this could be violent

This outbreak is getting more insane by the minute. Just showed some damage shots from Cullman looks pretty bad.

Its working now

Nice pic of the Cullman twister here http://twitpic.com/4q93rs That was the last thing i heard them say and then it just went blank, its still not working not sure why? Watching Reed Timmer now on Chaser.tv

Dammit! my stream from the ABC has crashed mind you it had nearly 10,000 viewers

Blummin hell another warned storm south west of Hamilton, its starting to go nuts.

No problem : ) They just said the Cullman one has demolished houses and they reckon it could possibly be an EF3! Just seen some tornado damage from the Cullman one on Chasers.tv some trees have blocked the road. Tornado still on the ground near Hamilton

Try this http://www.abc3340.com/ Stormsqaud sare chasing the same twister on here http://chase.tornado...ges/full_screen Another twister about to strike Hamilton

Second that did you see the transmitter go? Watching the same twister from a chaser on here http://chase.tornado...ges/full_screen Stormsquad.net have been following this for a while now. For the first twister i've seen online, it looked pretty intense.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ABC-33-40-Main#utm_campaign=synclickback&source=http://www.abc3340.com/&medium=520983 Tornado heading straight for downtown Cullman, hope everybody is in their shelters

Showing the nice cell near Cullman on the ABC birmingham stream. Just managed to see a funnel coming down from the wall cloud. EDIT - Tornado now visible!

Got some nice towering cumulus overhead now, the wind appears to have switched to the west after being from the south/south west all day.

Been upgraded to a slight risk now!

Right well my first Virtual Chase prediction is going to be St. Charles, Missouri for today me thinks for todays risk. As for tommorow i'm torn between somewhere along the eastern side of OK and Missouri, i'm abit of a novice at this but im hoping to pick this up over the next few weeks.

My initial thoughts on this summer are it being another cool and pretty wet one, as im thinking this current La Nina is in it for the long haul. Which if it persists this summer, combined with the negative turning QBO i think it could give a cool wet pattern. However if La Nina weakens away to leave neutral conditions in the Pacific then i think we could possibly get a decent-ish summer, maybe something along the lines of 2005, warm but with cool wet spells. But i've also had some interest in the stratosphere the last few weeks, as it has been pretty cold the combination of that with +QBO has left us in this very dry and increasingly warm pattern, the ozone levels have too plummeted across the north pole which can cause stratospheric cooling, so with that in mind if the stratosphere stays cold during the next few months we could have a warm and very dry pattern persist through until summer and perhaps beyond, but that's just my novice thoughts .
