Overview
Several supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front, a couple of which produced weak tornadoes near and
north of the I-20 corridor. Additionally, several rounds of heavy rain produced some flash flooding along and north of I-20, and
strong gradient winds ahead of the front caused scattered tree damage.
