Warmer than normal conditions in early January led to another severe weather event across Middle Tennessee on January 12, 2023. Warm, moist, southerly flow ahead of an approaching low pressure system and its associated cold front resulted in thunderstorms developing across the area by the early morning hours of the 12th. Several hail reports were received as one of the strongest thunderstorms of the day traveled across Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties. Farther south in Marshall County, another severe thunderstorm caused wind damage in Mooresville.
