17 me. May I post this on our chase team page and send to WTVA? If so, dm me who to credit the photo to.
What is the cause of all this severe weather of late? Thunderstorms are routine in the afternoon this time of year, but I do not recall this many tornados, etc.
Stall frontal boundary north bringing gulf moisture up and hitting the other front bringing these cells with a lot of energy that usually pop up in front of the fronts that move through. It's hot and extremely humid.
Our typical summer pattern kicks in when we get a strong high pressure over Bermuda that shunts storm systems off to our north and west. That has not happened yet so we're still getting systems making it this far south. I have a feeling it won't be much longer, though. Just a matter of time.
Sorry. Should have caught that. Been a lot going on and this today was just the cherry on top of the sundae.
