An artic airmass spilled southward out of the central plains and into the lower Mississippi Valley. This cold surface airmass was overrun by a warm and humid airmass which combined with a strong upper level storm system across west Texas. The result was widespread freezing rain. Ice accumulations on average of one inch were common north and west of a line from Mansfield and Arcadia to Farmerville LA. An estimated 235,000 residents lost power from snapped power lines. Upwards of 29 transmission lines atop "H" shaped steel towers were snapped due to the weight of the ice. One man was killed and another injured when a tree limb laden with ice fell on them. Numerous traffic accidents were reported from ice covered roads and bridges. In the Shreveport - Bossier metroplex more than 205 streets were either blocked or partially blocked by limbs and fallen trees. Much of northwest Louisiana was declared a disaster area.

Trees and power lines down along Hwy 154.

A strong upper level trough moved out of the southern Great Basin and into the lower Mississippi Valley sweeping Artic Air southward to the Gulf Coast. Moisture laden air from the Gulf overran the freezing surface temperatures producing ice across the northern half of northeast Texas. Ice accumulations of one to four inches fell across most of the area with the ice and snow accumulations near 8 inches. Thousands of homes were left without power due to ice covered tree limbs falling and snapping powerlines. Also, hundreds of chicken houses were destroyed and several 7 million chicks were killed. Barns, carports, and weak structure homes suffered collapse from the weight of the ice and snow. Traffic accidents were numerous and I-30 west of Texarkana had to be shut down when the freeway became impassable.

A longwave trough dug into the Southern Plains from the Central and Southern Rockies during the evening through the early morning hours of November 10th-11th, which reinforced a cold front southeast into these areas. A strong low level jet ahead of the front and attendant trough allowed for moisture to deepen across much of Texas and Oklahoma, with increasing large scale forcing contributing to the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms over these areas during the evening of the 10th, which organized into a squall line as it pushed east of the I-35 corridor into the Four State Region. These storms weakened as they entered the area, but re-intensified over portions of extreme Eastern Texas and Northwest Louisiana during the early morning hours of the 11th, producing several reports of wind damage which downed trees and power lines. This squall line also produced two brief tornadoes over Southern Harrison County Texas and another two brief tornadoes over Northwest Louisiana, before weakening as they moved east into North-Central Louisiana.

With the departure of an upper level ridge that resulted in oppressive heat across the Ark-La-Tex area in the preceding days, the upper flow aloft became more southwest during the daytime hours on June 23rd, ahead of an upper level trough and associated cold front that shifted east southeast across Oklahoma and Arkansas. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed by mid and late afternoon across portions of East Texas and North Louisiana ahead of this upper trough and associated cold front, where the air mass destabilized significantly given the hot and humid air mass in place. Some of these storms were severe, which downed trees and power lines during the mid and late afternoon hours. Meanwhile, the remnants of a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that moved across Southern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma earlier that morning helped to initiate another complex of showers and thunderstorms by early evening over Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas, which intensified across portions of East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana during the evening hours. Some of these storms were also severe, producing damaging winds which also downed more trees and power lines across portions of East Texas.

A warm front lifted north into Eastern Oklahoma and Central Arkansas during the morning hours of February 24th, resulting in a large warm and humid air mass across the Ark-La-Tex region. Meanwhile, showers and thunderstorms increased across North Texas during the morning as well, ahead of a strong upper trough that ejected east across the Southern Plains and Mississippi Valley. This trough also drove an attendant cold front into East Texas during the afternoon, with numerous showers and thunderstorms noted along and ahead of the front. The air mass ahead of the front was moderately unstable, allowing an isolated severe thunderstorm to develop over Western Harrison County Texas, which downed power lines between Hallsville and Marshall.

Storms developed during the afternoon of June 26th in a moist and|unstable airmass over the region. Several storms quickly strengthened |as an outflow boundary propagated northward across the area. In wake|of the boundary, several storms collapsed, resulting in quick downbursts |of wind. Severe thunderstorms knocked over several trees and disrupted|telephone and radio communications in and around the community of Jena.|Power poles were also toppled in Harrison County, Texas.
