BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ( WIAT ) — Storm Chaser Heath Lollar said he and his crew will be on the ground in central Alabama Saturday feeding information to weather services when the anticipated storm hits.
Lollar said their goals is to be the eyes and ears on the ground.
“It’s been a while since severe season really hit this region, so we’re just getting back reacquainted, getting all the equipment adjusted,” said Lollar. “We’re able to be on live while the storms are occurring, giving ground truth. The reason why that is so essential is because a radar is not constantly looking at a storm or a set storm, we’re actually able to be their eyes while the radars back is turned.”
