Read the full account →A feed of very moist air and a slow moving frontal system led to multiple clusters of showers and thunderstorms during the morning hours of the 26th.
Read the full account →A surge of moisture and unstable air aloft (steep mid level lapse rates) created a favorable environment for strong to severe thunderstorms producing large hail as a weak cold front dropped southeast into the Tennessee Valley.
Read the full account →An anomalous upper level pattern developed across the country with a large upper level trough remaining nearly stationary west of the area for several days. Continuous southwest flow brought unseasonably warm temperatures and high moisture content across the area.
