| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A warm front lifted north across East Texas and North Louisiana to along the Arkansas/Louisiana border during the afternoon hours of December 19th, focusing showers a large area of rain north of this boundary over portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas. Meanwhile, much warmer and humid air was found south of the front across Lower East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana, resulting in moderate surface instability. Meanwhile, a surface low developed during the afternoon over North Texas along a weak cold front, associated with a strong upper level trough of low pressure that progressed east across Westcentral and North Texas during the afternoon and evening. Steep lapse rates aloft enhanced instability across the warm sector south of the warm front, with adequate shear present and strong upper level forcing ahead of the trough leading to the development of stronger, more surface based showers and thunderstorms. These storms became severe as they moved into Southern Cherokee County Texas, with an isolated tornado touching down just south of Rusk. Other reports of wind damage were received with these storms as they slowly marched east northeast across East Texas south of Interstate 20. Locally heavy rainfall also accompanied these showers and thunderstorms, which trained for a few hours over the same areas resulting in flash flooding across portions of Southern Cherokee, Gregg, and Southwest Panola Counties. These storms gradually weakened as they approached the Lower Toledo Bend Country during the late evening hours. |
