Portions of the Tennessee Valley, especially those across northeast
Alabama, experienced severe thunderstorms for 3 or 4 consecutive days
between April 18 and 21, 2006. The pattern was unusually warm and
unstable, with both the
Huntsville and Muscle Shoals reporting sites breaking record highs
several times in mid-April, and a nearby stationary front helped to fire off thunderstorms
each day.
Having so many severe thunderstorms over such a short time period
was unusual for the Tennessee Valley and a first since the NWS Huntsville
office opened in 2003. Over the 4-day period, there were 71 reports
of severe weather, most of which consisted of penny to golf ball size
hail.
The following is a preliminary list of all of the reports received
by the National Weather Service in Huntsville, broken up by day.
(Note:
"E" prior to the hail size indicates an estimated size,
"M" indicates that it was measured.)
