One of the storms produced large hail up to the size of tennis balls in Limestone County.||Later in the evening of the 13th and through the early morning hours of the 14th, multiple lines of thunderstorms developed in Mississippi ahead of a strong cold front and shifted slowly east into north Alabama. The individual line segments at times broke off into more super-cellular thunderstorms. A couple of these produced tornadoes in Franklin and Colbert Counties. Several other reports of thunderstorm wind damage were received. In addition, gusty south-southeast winds developed ahead of the advancing line of thunderstorms. Gusts over 40 mph were reported, and also knocked a few trees/limbs down in northwest Alabama.||Intense rainfall rates were observed with the thunderstorms at times, and in some cases a few areas received multiple periods of thunderstorms.
