Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A vigorous upper level trough developed over the Four Corners Region on December 26th, before taking on a negative tilt as it ejected northeast across Northwest and North Texas and much of Oklahoma during the early morning hours of the 27th. Strong southerly winds ahead of this upper trough resulted in warm, humid conditions spreading north across East Texas, North Louisiana, and extreme Southern Arkansas, resulting in weak to moderate surface based instability over these areas. Wind shear was also very strong ahead of this system, with the rapidly increasing moisture return and subtle forcing ahead of the trough allowing for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and especially during the evening over East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas. Isolated supercell thunderstorms developed over portions of East Texas during the evening, with several reports of large hail and damaging winds over Smith County. Meanwhile, a squall line developed just to the west over Northern and Central Texas along the ejecting upper trough, with these thunderstorms racing east across East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana during the late evening through the overnight hours of the 26th-27th. Numerous reports of damaging winds which downed trees and power lines were reported from this squall line over East Texas, before the strongest storms quickly exited this area after 1 AM on the 27th.\|\|In addition to the damaging winds and large hail, locally heavy rainfall also accompanied these storms, with rainfall amounts ranging from two to four inches with isolated higher amounts. Much of these rains fell over an extended period of time, and given the already saturated grounds from much above normal rainfall that fell since September, many smaller creeks, streams, and bayous began to overflow their banks which flooded/closed numerous roadways across East Texas well after the heavy rainfall had ended during the morning hours.
