Episode Narrative

A quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) swept eastward across northern Alabama during the overnight hours. Strong low level wind shear, despite limited instability, produced a low level meso-vortex in eastern Franklin which tracked into central Lawrence county. A EF-0 tornado from this parent meso-vortex damaged a mobile home and collapsed a roof of a chicken house southwest of Moulton.
