A deepening short wave moving through the southern Plains States produced widespread lift across Alabama during the morning hours on April 19th. At the same time, a surface warm front lifted northward across south Alabama and pulled warm and unstable air into central Alabama. Several tornadoes formed in the warm sector south of the warm front. Later that day and into the overnight hours, a cold front approached Alabama from the west and triggered severe thunderstorms development, mainly across the northern portions of central Alabama.
