Abstract

A spiral-shaped radar echo, apparently of non-tornadic origin, was observed over southwestern Alabama on the afternoon of July 1, 1959. A series of scope photographs of the CPS-9 radar at Maxwell Air Force Base shows that this feature persisted for well over an hour and suggests that the pattern was experiencing anticyclonic rotation.
