The wider storm

An Arctic cold front pushed south through north Texas Thanksgiving night through the following morning. Showers and thunderstorms accompanied the front, then continued through the weekend as a strong overrunning pattern remained in place after the front moved through the area. Flash flooding not only created travel problems, but took the lives of 4 people that holiday weekend.
