A long-lived complex of thunderstorms which originated over Kansas during the early morning hours, moved through southern Missouri, northern Arkansas and eventually into Tennessee and far north Alabama during the late afternoon and early evening hours.  The thunderstorms produced a gust front that pushed south and southeast away from the rain area into far north Alabama.  Winds gusted at 40 to 60 mph at many locations, and in few spots, exceeded 60 mph.  The winds knocked down trees, power lines, and produced other mostly minor structural damage.
