Episode Narrative A strong cold front produced a squall line across the Ohio, Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valleys during the afternoon and evening hours of the 4th. Ahead of the front, windy conditions developed with wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph. The thunderstorms produced numerous reports of minor to moderate wind damage and large hail. Two to just over three inches of rainfall were reported. Much of the rain came with the initial squall line, causing some minor nuisance street flooding. Rainfall and occasional cloud to ground and inter-cloud lightning persisted several hours behind the initial line of strong to severe thunderstorms.
Event Narrative Damaging straight-line winds knocked numerous trees and power lines down across downtown Decatur.
