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.
