An upper-level trough crossed the Four Corners region and dipped into northern Mexico on February 14, 2025. A warm front quickly accelerated northward into the Mid-South during the morning of February 15, 2025, as surface low pressure traversed the Southern Plains. The front stalled across the northern parts of the Mid-South. The airmass south of the warm front destabilized during the afternoon hours on February 15th. As the surface low tracked into the Mid-South a line of severe storms developed and pushed across the region during the evening hours of February 15th exiting into Middle Tennessee and northern Alabama by midnight. Damaging winds, large hail, and a few weak tornadoes occurred.
