Flash Flood — Grady, OK

Apr 26, 2013

A strong surface low developed over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. During the afternoon, a weak wave of low pressure aloft acted to drive a warm front southward as a cold front. Scattered supercells developed along the front, traveling from northwest Oklahoma southeastward into portions of central and south central Oklahoma. Very large hail and significant wind damage accompanied the storms, which lingered well into the overnight hours.
