Wider weather episode

An upper level disturbance and a cold front produced one round of thunderstorms the evening of Thursday April 18, a few of which contained large hail. The front eventually stalled, setting the stage for a second round of thunderstorms (this time elevated above the frontal layer) on the night of the 19th and continuing into the 20th. A few storms produce marginally severe hail, and heavy rain generated flooding in a few locations in North Texas.
