The wider storm

Two rounds of thunderstorms impacted Middle Tennessee on August 9-10, 2023. The first round of thunderstorms moved into the area during the early afternoon hours of August 9th with the strongest thunderstorms favoring areas south of Interstate 40. This activity was responsible for downing a few trees in Lawrence County. The second round of thunderstorms impacted Middle Tennessee late on August 9th and into the early morning hours of the 10th with a couple more fallen trees reported. Despite an unseasonable amount of wind shear, the atmosphere was likely too stable to produce widespread severe thunderstorms.

Began near Sparta (35.9300, -85.4700).
