A deep upper level trough located across New Mexico and the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles slowly moved northeast towards the region on April 6th.  Southwest flow dominated the region ahead of the upper level trough which allowed for copious amounts of Pacific and Gulf of Mexico Moisture to ride up and over a stalled frontal boundary along the Southeast Texas and the Southern Louisiana Gulf Coast.  Elevated instability and strong lapse rates aloft resulted in the development of large hail initially on the 6th but as the day went on, training of cells resulted in some wind damage with widespread flooding noted across portions of the region as well.  Heavy rainfall of 4 to near 6 inches was reported in portions of Gregg and Smith Counties in Northeast Texas with this event.
