A slow moving upper trough and associated cold front, responsible for multiple days of severe weather across the Midwest and Southern Plains, had finally moved east into the Tennessee Valley and Mid-South Region.  While this system had weakened considerably from when it was located across the central U.S., weak dynamics, strong thermodynamics, and ample moisture combined to allow scattered to numerous thunderstorms to develop across the region during the afternoon and evening hours.  A few of these became severe in the Martinsville and Danville area of Southside Virginia.

Rain bands rotated northward across western Kentucky ahead of the low pressure center.

A strong thunderstorm produced hail to the size of nickels in far southern Osborne County (north of Luray) very early on this Friday morning. Several small thunderstorms initiated around midnight over Ellis County and quickly merged as they lifted northeast. Over the following two hours, other storms initiated over north central Kansas, forming a northwest-southeast oriented line. One storm embedded within the line was strong enough to produce this nickel size hail.
A weak low pressure system was advancing through the Northern Plains. Low pressure was over Minnesota, with the associated cold front extending southwest across Nebraska into Wyoming. These storms formed in the warm sector, well ahead of the front. In the upper-levels, a longwave trough was over the western United States, with a ridge over the East. These storms developed just after the passage of a shortwave ridge. Synoptic forcing was negligible. While the strongest warm air advection was further north over Nebraska, these storms did initiate near the nose of a 30-40 knot low-level jet. MUCAPE was around 1000 J/kg and deep layer shear was around 20 knots.

A strong upper level low pressure system moved from the desert southwest into the Southern Plains in late December. Unseasonably moist air was in place across the region ahead of this approaching system as Pacific moisture in the mid and upper levels combined with very moist air in the low levels from the Gulf of Mexico. Strong atmospheric lift from the approaching upper level low and a warm front moving across the area, combined with this moisture, resulted in widespread locally heavy rainfall.
