During the evening of the 13th, isolated low-topped supercells develops in central moving into north Alabama north of an advancing warm front. 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.
