Overview

A strong cold front approached the Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians during the late afternoon and evening hours of Monday June 21. A warm and humid airmass ahead of the front led to the development of numerous clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms. The main impact from these storms was damaging winds with two dozen reports of wind damage in the form of down trees and power lines, as well as a barn destroyed in Roane County. However, a couple of pockets of hail occurred in northern portions of the region.
