Widespread showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front lifted northward across the tri-state area on Sunday, April 22, 2018. While overall damage reports with the thunderstorms were limited, strong low level shear caused rotation in numerous storms. Despite the strong low level shear, instability was limited and the resultant storm mode was mini-supercells. A few reports of trees and even a downed street sign were reported in Houston county, AL. Despite the low-topped convection, the core of one storm in Lanier county, GA was also strong enough to produce nickel sized hail. While rotation was noted in multiple storms and a few tornado warnings were issued, only one storm produced a tornado that moved through Dale county, AL.
