A warm front surged north during the morning hours of March 2, 2012 ushering in a moist and unstable airmass across the Mid-South. During the afternoon hours a powerful dry line surged east and interacted with the unstable airmass to produce numerous supercells east of the Mississippi River. These supercells eventually merged to form a line of thunderstorms that pushed east to the Tennessee River during the evening hours. Numerous storms became severe across West Tennessee with large hail and damaging winds.
