Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA southerly return flow commenced throughout the day on April 24th, in wake of a cold frontal passage that had occurred a couple of days prior on the 22nd. However, low level moisture return was meager, but a sharply amplifying upper level trough over the Central Plains and Midwest region dug south into the Red River Valley of Southern Oklahoma and North Texas during the afternoon. Strong large scale forcing occurred ahead of this trough over Eastern and Southern Oklahoma into Northeast Texas, along and ahead of a reinforcing cold front that shifted southeast over these areas. Strong wind shear also developed ahead of the trough during the afternoon and evening, with very steep lapse rates noted beneath the trough over the Red River Valley into Northeast Texas. This contributed to the development of scattered severe thunderstorms during the afternoon over portions of Southern and Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas, with several supercell thunderstorms developing and tracking southeast over these areas through the evening, and eventually into Northern Louisiana during the mid and late evening hours. Numerous reports of large hail were reported from these storms, with some isolated instances of damaging winds and funnel clouds across portions of Northeast Texas. Multiple cell mergers contributed to an extremely severe supercell with a large swath of destructive straight line winds in excess of 80-90 mph developing over Southern Morris and much of Cass Counties, which accelerated southeast into portions of Northwest Louisiana by mid-evening, thus ending the severe threat for Northeast Texas with the cold frontal passage.
