The wider storm

The first part of the day on June 30, 2023, was characterized by dangerous hot and humid conditions across most of Middle Tennessee as heat index values soared to 115 to 125 degrees. With these hot temperatures, an abundant amount of instability was in place across the area. With a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developing over Illinois and Indiana and diving southward, it moved into an environment that was favorable for severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds were the main hazards with this line of thunderstorms with several wind damage reports received through the evening hours.

Began near Red Boiling Spgs (36.5319, -85.8504).
