Episodes
An upper trough ejected east across the Central Plains on January 7th and into Iowa/Northern Missouri during the evening, inducing surface low development farther south over Southern Oklahoma which moved east into Central Arkansas by the evening. This system reinforced a cold front southeast across the Southern Plains during the afternoon, and into East Texas during the mid and late evening hours. Meanwhile, another shortwave trough rapidly traversed east from Northern Baja and merged with the southern extent of the upper trough axis over East Texas, increasing large scale forcing along and ahead of the front. Low level moisture return was already underway across East Texas and North Louisiana ahead of the front, and was sufficient enough for the development of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across these areas during the evening and overnight hours. While shear ahead of the front was strong, instability was not particularly high across the area, but was adequate enough for the development of isolated strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of Lower East Texas, which moved east-southeast into Western Louisiana during the late evening hours. Damaging winds downed trees and power lines across portions of North-central Sabine Parish, with multiple reports of large hail falling as well before the storms exiting the region into Central Louisiana during the early morning hours on the 8th.
With a very cold atmosphere already in place, an upper level storm system moved out of the Texas Hill Country and into Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana during the afternoon hours of February 11th. Precipitation became widespread across the region late in the afternoon and especially during the overnight hours of February 11th and the 12th. During the onset of precipitation, a mixture of rain and sleet was the predominant precipitation type with some sleet accumulations across West Central Louisiana. During the evening and overnight hours of the event, the transition turned to predominantly freezing rain with accumulations across West Central Louisiana near one tenth of an inch. Impacts included some slick spots on elevated bridges and overpasses, as well as some isolated power outages from downed limbs on powerlines.
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed across deep east Texas and northwest Louisiana during the afternoon hours of September 6th. These storms developed in a very unstable airmass with afternoon temperatures in the middle to upper 90s. These storms had tall cores and when they collapsed...they produced strong wind gusts which mainly downed trees and powerlines.
