The wider storm

A storm system approaching middle Tennessee from the Great Plains along with moist southerly surface flow combined to produce scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the area on October 12, 2022. Ahead of this approaching storm system, the atmosphere was supportive for strong to severe thunderstorms, especially across southern portions of middle Tennessee where modest instability was present along with strong wind shear values. This event produced widespread severe thunderstorm winds and wind damage with the most significant damage found in Manchester due to an intense microburst.
