Strong South-Moving Storms
Hello r/weather, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i have been noticing a phenomena in my town over the last few years and I finally got the itch to ask about it. I live in the Gulf Shores AL area, and i have noticed that during the summers we tend to get south-moving storms intermixed with the usual ones coming from the west or up from the gulf. While I haven't been diligently recording each one, i have noticed that these southward storms are significantly stronger than any others (WAYY more lightning, and the only time we ever get hail is with these systems). As i understand it, storms really like tracking north-east, so why does my area see so many of these rogue storms? and why are they so packed full of energy?
