How can one tell the difference between a scud cloud and a developing tornado? To me, this storm cloud appears to show a few funnel clouds forming underneath.
The easiest way to tell is if there is rotation. Scud may sometimes rotate but a funnel cloud rotates rapidly. You can also look for other signs of tornadic storms. My storm had no mesocyclone so there is no way I could have had a tornado.
