A Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) developed over Illinois and Indiana early on June 29, 2023, and traveled southward into Middle Tennessee by late morning and early afternoon. As this line of thunderstorms did so, they produced severe wind gusts with several reports of downed tress and power lines received. Across southwest Middle Tennessee, isolated thunderstorms quickly strengthened and produced up to baseball size hail across portions of Lawrence County. Unfortunately, this event did lead to one fatality with a 52-year-old woman in Maury County killed after a tree fell on her during a severe thunderstorm.
