A frontal boundary pulled up stationary across portions of Southwest Arkansas into Southeast Oklahoma during the daytime hours. A very unstable airmass developed south of the boundary with CAPE values approaching 4000 J/KG and Lifted Indices near -10. While low level shear was weak in the warm sector, deep layer shear was in excess of 50kts and with the help of a strong upper level trough moving out of Central Texas, severe thunderstorms developed across the region during the afternoon and evening hours of March 28th. Strong lapse rates initially resulted in hail producing thunderstorms, some of which took on the appearance of supercell thunderstorms. Later in the evening, a squall line developed with widespread wind damage noted across the southern half of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana.
