EF0 tornado in Baldwin County, Alabama

A brief, weak EF0 tornado with winds upwards of 75mph occurred in

Baldwin County, Alabama just northeast of Rosinton 3/30/22. The

tornado began in a limited access area where a couple freshly

snapped tops to pine trees were noted across the field. Due to

limited road access and brevity of the tornado, the path and end

point are estimated by radar debris signature and velocity couplet

duration.

A very active severe weather season continued as an outbreak of severe thunderstorms occurred across the area from the evening of the 30th into the early morning hours on the 31st. A strong spring storm system moved across the area. Ahead of the system plenty of Gulf moisture returned to the central Gulf coast. This led to a very unstable atmosphere over the region which combined to strong wind shear to produce 18 tornadoes which were rated from EF-0 to EF-2. In addition to the tornadoes, the storms produced damaging straight line winds and large hail. Numerous reports of damage came in from southeast Mississippi, southwest Alabama and the western Florida panhandle.
