A vigorous upper level storm system moved out of west Texas and into central Texas during the morning of January 25th.  An area of low pressure at the surface moved out of extreme southern Texas and into east central Texas during the late morning and afternoon hours.  A warm front which was just off the southeast Texas/southwest Louisiana coast on the 24th, moved north during the morning and took a position along or just south of the interstate 20 corridor of northeast Texas and northern Louisiana.  A moderately unstable airmass was noted in the warm sector south of the warm front with dewpoints in the middle 60s.  A very strong low level and deep layer shear storm environment developed across the region and the result was strong to severe thunderstorms, some of which produced isolated tornadoes across the region.
