Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong frontal boundary pulled up stationary south of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana during the morning hours of March 17th. However, an elevated boundary near 850mb was located nearly stationary across the Middle Red River Valley of Northern Texas into Southern Arkansas. Flow aloft was mostly west to east across the Southern Plains at this time but subtle weak disturbances and strong deep layer shear resulted in the development of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma during the predawn hours of March 17th. After sunrise, these storms progressed eastward into Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. While the atmosphere was pretty stable at the surface...moderate instability existed aloft which resulted in rather steep mid level temperature lapse rates. This was conducive for the development of large hail which was widespread across the region...ranging from pea size to up to golfball size. In addition, an elevated supercell moved across portions of Red River and Bowie Counties in Northeast Texas and while a tornado was not produced from this storm, a strong and damaging downburst was produced with widespread wind damage noted across portions of both counties.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA funnel cloud was reported near the intersection of Highway 82 and County Road 3210 in Annona. However, a NWS Storm Survey confirmed that it did not touch down as a tornado.
