The wider storm
A strong upper-level storm system tracked through the eastern portion of the United States on December 18, 2025. A very strong jet and potent cold front was associated with this system. As it neared Middle Tennessee, southerly winds strengthened ahead of it during the afternoon hours and continued to strengthen as the cold front and a line of showers with isolated thunderstorms swept east through the area. Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph were common with some sporadic wind gusts over 50 mph with these showers. This caused several reports of downed trees, mainly across central portions of Middle Tennessee. Meanwhile, one particular thunderstorm strengthened as it moved through Warren County. It caused a swath of damaging straight-line winds near McMinnville which caused tree and structural damage there.
Began near Dover (36.4871, -87.8391).
