An intense atmospheric gravity wave brought a period of high winds to central Alabama late in the evening on April 12, lasting into the early morning hours on April 13. The gravity wave, which formed on the back edge of a large precipitation area, moved into west central Alabama from Mississippi around 9 pm CDT, moved across the middle of the state, and exited the east central counties by 8 am CDT the next morning. As the wave moved through, it produced a 1 to 2 hour long period of strong winds, with frequent gusts above 30 mph, and peak gusts averaging 40 to 50 mph. A larger number of trees were blown down than one may usually expect from these wind speeds, since many trees were weakened by a recent drought, and because the gusty winds lasted for up to two hours. The downed trees caused numerous power outages, and as many as 165,000 customers lost power during the storm.

Prolonged heavy rainfall caused water to flood CR 203 and 208.

A powerful low pressure system tracked from Arkansas into the Ohio Valley, lifting a warm front north during the afternoon, and pushing a cold front during the evening hours. Two quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) tracked east through the Tennessee Valley, resulting in two waves of severe thunderstorms that produced four tornadoes of EF0 and EF1 intensity, wind damage, and several short duration flash floods, mainly in urban areas of Huntsville and Decatur. Damaging non-thunderstorm winds occurred behind the cold frontal passage, enhanced by a possible gravity wave.

A strong upper level storm moving across the Mississipi Valley brought a dry line and cold front into north Alabama during the afternoon and early evening hours. Several classic supercell thunderstorms developed by early afternoon in northwest Alabama, sweeping across the remainder of north Alabama during mid to late afternoon hours. Many of the storms produced very large hail, up to baseball and softball sized, producing significant damage, especially from Decatur through Madison and northwest Huntsville. One of the supercells produced a long track tornado producing damage of up to EF-3 intensity which struck northeastern Marshall County, crossed Lake Guntersville, and moved into southern DeKalb County.

A wave of damaging winds produced widespread and signficant damage to portions of north central and northeast Alabama during the late evening hours of the 12th into the early morning hours of the 13th. These winds have been attributed to wake low / gravity wave combination on the northwest edges of a decaying mesoscale convective system (MCS) across central Alabama into northern and central Georgia. Sustained wind speeds of 40 to 50 mph were common over a period of one to two hours, especially across Morgan, Cullman, Marshall and Jackson Counties. Damages were most severe in the communities of Guntersville and Scottsboro where widespread damage was reported, and power was knocked out as numerous large trees were knoccked down. Schools were closed in both communities for up to three days. Many roads became impassible on the morning of the 13th due to the tree damage. Trees were knocked down onto homes, vehicles and trailers, entrapping one individual in a camper in Scottsboro. In Scottsboro, power was out for no less than three days in some cases.

A strong low pressure system tracking northeast from the southern Ozarks into the Ohio Valley brought a cold front into the central Tennessee Valley during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 19th. Supercells erupted across northern Mississippi, moving into far northwest Alabama shortly before 5 pm CDT. Initially, these storms were large hail producers, with up to baseball sized hail reported in the town of Red Bay in Franklin County. As the early evening progressed, this supercell tracked into Lawrence and Morgan Counties producing wind damage and at least six tornadoes as it moved east. A male individual was killed in the town of Priceville in Morgan County when a tree was knocked down onto his trailer home. The thunderstorms evolved into a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) as they moved into Marshall and DeKalb Counties. Another tornado developed rapidly in the community of Asbury in Marshall County, killing one and critically injurying another when their mobile home was destroyed. The QLCS progressed into DeKalb County producing additional tornado damage.
