SUMMARY: Near Hollingers Island, Tyler Smith recorded multiple water spouts, a common yet exciting sight during this time of year. Chief Meteorologist Bloodsworth explained that these are tornadic water spouts, formed from thunderstorms that create rotating columns of air. When they move onshore, they are classified as tornadoes. An alternate type, fair-weather water spouts, typically occurs due to wind boundaries, lifting air from the water to form a spin. Additionally, strong thunderstorms are moving into Mobile County, with winds of up to 40 mph affecting areas like Sims and West Mobile. Weather photos from viewers were also appreciated.

Multiple WKRG viewers sent in videos and images of a waterspout over Mobile Bay. It was visible from Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
