Wider weather episode

On the afternoon and evening of April 6th, a cold front tied to a low pressure system over the Tennessee Valley swept through the region, triggering a broken quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) in an environment of unstable air and modest wind shear. The QLCS reached peak strength as it moved into coastal Mississippi, where it produced additional wind damage and a brief tornado before exiting into Alabama.
