Multiple rounds of thunderstorms occurred from Monday April 8 through Wednesday April 10 as a deep low pressure system moved east through the Rockies, eventually transitioning to an open trough as it traversed the Plains. The first round of thunderstorms began immediately after the region experienced a total solar eclipse! Large hail was the primary severe weather occurrence on April 8th, though flooding became a primary issue on the 9th and 10th following several rounds of showers and storms.
