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.

A flat upper level ridge was anchored over the Four State Region during the afternoon through the early morning hours of May 4th-5th, which maintained very warm and dry conditions over the area. However, an upper level disturbance ejected northeast atop the dryline across West Texas and Western Oklahoma, with this forcing interacting with daytime heating and resultant instability to initiate a complex of showers and thunderstorms over West-Central and Central Texas during the afternoon and evening. This complex organized into a large thunderstorm complex, with numerous severe thunderstorms advancing across the Hill Country east into Deep East Texas during the early morning hours of the 5th. These storms remained severe as they entered Deep East Texas, downing multiple trees and power lines across Cherokee, Rusk, and Nacogdoches Counties before weakening as they reached the Sabine Valley closest to the center of the ridge.

An upper level trough of low pressure shifted east from the Ohio Valley southwest across the Midwest and Central/Southern Plains during the late morning hours of September 5th. The accompanying cold front moved into Southwest Arkansas and extreme Northeast Texas during the mid and late afternoon, before moving into North Louisiana and Deep East Texas during the evening. Moderate instability developed along and ahead of the front, with increasing frontal convergence yielding scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening across Southwest Arkansas, North Louisiana, and portions of Deep East Texas, where large scale forcing was strongest ahead of the trough. An isolated severe thunderstorm developed over Nacogdoches County, resulting in downed trees and power lines in the Woden community. These storms began to diminish by late evening over Deep East Texas as cooler and drier air began to spill south in wake of the frontal passage.

The second complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms in two days moved across East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana during the morning and afternoon hours on May 27th, bringing about widespread rains to the region. This complex developed well ahead of a closed upper level low pressure system over the Southern Rockies, which spread slowly east in the broad southwest flow aloft extending into the Lower Mississippi Valley. As it interacted with moderate instability and stronger shear over Southeast Texas, Southern and Central Louisiana, some of these storms became severe over portions of Deep East and Southeast Texas, as well as Northcentral and Southern Louisiana during the afternoon, producing numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. Given the already saturated grounds from rain that fell less than a day before, the heavy rainfall associated with these storms produced flash flooding over these areas as well.
