Storm Relative Velocity Loop - This 4-panel imagery was taken from the Birmingham WSR-88D located toward the upper right of the frames. Starting in the top left and moving clockwise, the imagery looks progressively higher into the storm. Although there was no discernable velocity couplet (high inbound green next to a high outbound red), there was some indication of weak rotation near Eutaw. This was the feature that produced the tornado.
