The upper level trough which was across the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle on the 23rd of October began to eject into north central Texas and southern Oklahoma on the 24th.  This trough was accompanied by strong winds aloft and in the lower levels of the atmosphere.  During the afternoon...the low level winds were unidirectional ahead of a dryline which surged into north central Texas and eastern Oklahoma.  Initially, storms took on the characteristics of supercells and bowing segments across northeast Texas ahead of the dryline.  These storms produced strong damaging wind gusts and very large hail. As the afternoon transitioned into the evening hours, low level winds began to back more to the south southeast and as a result, a few tornadoes were reported with the supercells across northeast Texas.  These storms eventually spread into southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana producing large hail and damaging wind gusts.
