A cluster of thunderstorms erupted in middle Tennessee during the late afternoon hours.  The storms generated a large cold pool and gust front which tracked across nearly all of northern Alabama.  Several reports of wind damage were received along this gust front, with measured wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph at a few ASOS/CWOP stations.   A few storms also produced hail.
