A deep upper level low moved into the lower Mississippi Valley and pushed a cold front into the southeast states. The front temporarily stalled over portions of southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama during the afternoon and evening of April 14th. This resulted in the training of thunderstorms, which resulted in flash flooding across portions of inland southwest Alabama. As the front began to move east that night, one severe weather event occurred in Mobile County.
