Wider weather episode

With abundant moisture and instability, the ingredients were there for another summer-like day across Middle Tennessee with scattered convection during the afternoon and evening of April 25, 2025. With little wind shear and forcing, these thunderstorms were non-severe. However, slow storm motions allowed for flash flooding to be the primary risk, especially in Lawrence County where a thunderstorm produced 2 to 4 inches in a short time, causing flooding in the area.
