Friend of the Blog Jeff Kirby from Dothan sent these superb pictures of a severe storm in Dale County from Saturday afternoon.
He writes:
Bill:
Attached are images taken between 5:25 PM CDT and 5:50 PM CDT in southwestern Dale County near Wicksburg, Alabama. The bases of both storms showed some rotation, but the base of the second storm was more remarkable. The appendage (funnel cloud??) as viewed from west of the second storm was rotating, but it dissipated very quickly. Both wall clouds were clearly visible with no precipitation near them except for the downdraft section of the storms, where rain was quite heavy, with some small hail possible. As we entered the updraft section, precipitation stopped abruptly. No warnings were issued for either storm after our sighting, however the first storm had been the subject of a tornado warning in Coffee and Dale counties earlier.

Thanks for the great photos Jeff!
