Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA 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. Although low level wind shear was relatively weak, mid to upper level shear sustained a few supercell thunderstorms that generated the largest hail up to golf ball sized. The storms developed rapidly during the mid afternoon hours across northern Alabama ahead of the cold front. As the evening wore on, new storms developed in far northwest Alabama right along the cold front. These progressed southeast of the area before Midnight. Unfortunately, one person was injured after being struck by lightning in their residence in Cullman County.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeLightning struck a 100 foot tower at the Lawrence county, Alabama emergency management/911 facility. EMA officials reported that there was damage to the tornado early warning system and 911 phone lines.
