During the night of the 24th, a stationary frontal boundary across the Southeast Texas and Southern Louisiana coast began moving northward as a warm front as a deep upper level disturbance moved out of the Four Corners Region and into the Plains.  This front delineated a very cold air mass north of it with a very warm and unstable air mass south of the boundary.  The front moved north and became stationary near the lower Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn country of Deep East Texas, into Central Louisiana during the late morning and afternoon hours of Christmas Day.  Initially, showers and thunderstorms developed during the predawn hours with storms overriding the front and becoming elevated.  These storms primarily produced large hail. However as the day went on, the storms become more surface based.  Eventually, a squall line developed south of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana with damaging wind gusts the main result.
