The episode as NWS OHX wrote it up.
As a cold front tracked eastward across the Great Plains and moist, southerly flow set up over the southeastern United States, a severe weather event set up over this area, including portions of Middle Tennessee, on November 29, 2022. Despite an abundant amount of wind shear and modest mid-level lapse rates, the greatest amount of instability remained to the south of Middle Tennessee. Thus, thunderstorms across the area generally remained sub-severe with just beneficial rainfall observed. The exception was near Dickson where a severe thunderstorm produced large hail as it raced northeastward towards the Kentucky border.
