| Episode Narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed during the late morning through the early evening hours, as Middle Tennessee was experiencing a very unstable air mass in association with a very large low pressure system that streched from Maine to Wisconsin to New Mexico that would move eastward as the late afternoon hours progressed. Several large hail and a couple of thunderstorm wind damage events occurred as a result. |
