A shallow cold front began to shift southeast into Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 1st, with a very warm, moist, and unstable air mass in place as an upper level disturbance ejected northeast across the Four State region. As a result, scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed across these areas along and behind the front, which produced numerous reports of large hail and occasional reports of wind damage.  An isolated report of a funnel cloud was also received, before these storms weakened during the late evening hours with the loss of heating, instability, and convergence along the frontal boundary.

A vigorous upper-level trough was moving through the Ohio Valley region toward the mid-Atlantic.  A cold front accompanied the upper trough and was moving southeast into the region.  A mesoscale convective complex (MCS) developed across the Tennessee Valley and moved southeast into north Georgia during the evening hours.  Although the system was generally dissipating as it moved further south away from the better upper-level support and dynamics, it maintained considerable intensity as it moved into north Georgia.  The leading edge of the MCS developed into a bowing west-east oriented line segment.  As a portion of this segment bowed out across Pickens county, it produced 75 mph winds which caused considerable damage to property and trees.  Damaging winds were also reported across Dawson and Lumpkin county before the storms dissipated.

A second heavy snowfall event occurred in as many days as another round of moisture moved into the region.  Strong lift and abundant moisture resulted in snow beginning to fall during the nighttime hours of April 5th.  By the morning hours of April 6th, a cold front swung in and stalled temporarily over the area, resulting in continued heavy snowfall over the Central Panhandle Mountains.  Although snow levels dropped to between 1,500 and 2,000 feet with cold frontal passage, much of the heaviest snowfall occurred ahead of the front with heavy snowfall primarily remaining at higher elevations above 3,000 feet.
