| Episode Narrative |
A weak cold front moved through Alabama on Sunday, May 13. Shear profiles ahead of and along the front were supportive of supercells. Given the enhanced low level storm relative helicity, numerous, weak mesocyclones and rotating wall clouds developed. One storm resulted in a brief tornado touchdown. |
