| Episode Narrative | An upper level closed low moved across the Mississippi Valley region on Thursday, April 5th. Ahead of this feature, storms along an outflow boundary moved across Mississippi and into west central Alabama by mid morning, producing large hail and wind damage across southwest portions of central Alabama. As the upper low crossed the area during peak daytime heating, a second round of severe thunderstorms developed. These storms brought large hail and wind damage to a significant portion of the area. |
| Event Narrative | Several trees and powerlines were blown down throughout Fayette. A few of the trees were blocking roadways. |
