| Episode Narrative | A vigorous winter storm that moved from the southern Plains into the upper Midwest produced a strong pressure gradient across the mid South and Tennessee Valley. Southeast winds of 30 to 40 mph developed during the late afternoon hours and lasted through the evening. By late evening, wind gusts over 50 mph, and in some cases around 60 mph, knocked down numerous trees and power lines. A fire department building under construction was partially destroyed in Athens, Alabama. A squall line of showers associated with a pre-frontal trough further enhanced the damaging winds during the late evening hours. |
| Event Narrative | High winds knocked down trees on a few county roads. |
