This year brings some exciting technical changes as we will be adding new content resources to get the information we all need out as rapidly and efficiently as possible. Among the items we are working on:
Distribution to multiple media outlets as a storm threatens
- Regular content feeds
- On-site video from our spotters
- Comprehensive resources
- Additional researchers and responders
Now, with all that out of the way, on to the weather. The past month has seen a couple of localized tornadic outbreaks, each with fatalities, and there remains an immediate threat for the SouthEast on Tuesday, February 13, 2007. People along the Gulf Coast and as far north as Birmingham, Alabama should closely monitor the weather tomorrow.
While the potential for isolated severe weather exists, I do not feel that we are staring down the barrel of a “super outbreak” of tornados. I do, however, think we will have a more active spring severe weather cycle than we had last year.
As always, we will monitor this information and present our findings.
