Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA potent upper level storm system moved rapidly eastward across the Southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley during the late afternoon and evening hours of March 13th. Cold air aloft accompanied this upper level trough while surface temperatures warmed well into the 70s ahead of the trough. This resulted in moderate instability across all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Multicell thunderstorms and a few discrete supercell thunderstorms developed with the aid of late afternoon heating and most of these storms were prolific hail producers with hail ranging from pea size to near 2 inches in diameter. Low level shear in the atmosphere was sufficient enough as well that some of these storms produced funnel clouds, but none of which touched down as a tornado.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA funnel cloud was briefly spotted southeast of the Umpire community. A NWS Storm Survey confirmed that it did not touch down as a tornado.
