Sadly, the storms were deadly.<\/p>\n<p>One supercell in particular ignited around 4 pm in Wichita County and violently intensified as it moved southeasterly. This was the destructive storm that lasted nearly 12 straight hours, dissipating around 3:30 am Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hail.jpg#.jpeg\" alt=\"hail.jpg \" height=\"827\" width=\"620\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/runaway-bay.jpg#.jpeg\" alt=\"runaway-bay.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/clay-county.jpg#.jpeg\" alt=\"clay-county.jpg \" height=\"1102\" width=\"620\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A dryline to the west was the key trigger for this devastating storm. Again, the dryline will play a role in Sunday&#8217;s forecast.<\/p>\n<p>There is an isolated severe threat due to the same atmospheric setup in the afternoon and evening. However, the cap in the atmosphere is a lot stronger, meaning the risk for severe weather will still remain a possibility, but the likelihood of any initiation that is strong is extremely low.<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/wx-1.png#.png\" alt=\"wx-1.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Expect most of the area to stay dry and conditions to be a muggy, breezy, and cloudy day with a conditional threat of severe weather.

The good news is that the front will bring cooler weather and rain to drought-stricken areas to the east.
