A long-lived mesoscale convective system which originated in the lower Missouri Valley during the early morning of the 26th, tracked south-southeast into the Tennessee Valley during the afternoon hours.  The storms fed upon a moist and unstable airmass across the region.  An earlier outflow boundary also had pushed into the area during the morning, serving as a secondary focus mechanism for additional thunderstorms and storm mergers.  A gust front emerged from the storms during the afternoon, producing widespread gusty winds of 30 to 50 mph, with winds exceeding 60 mph in many locations, resulting in numerous reports of wind damage.  Numerous trees were knocked down onto power lines, resulting in loss of power, especially across Franklin and Cullman Counties.  In Cullman County, widespread wind damage was reported, with trees down across many locations.  In addition, a barn was destroyed and blown onto an adjacent roadway, and a couple of metal porch rooftops were torn off.
