The severe weather setup for March 18th was not a lot different than the setup for severe weather that occurred across the Four State Region on March 17th.  An elevated boundary remained nearly stationary north of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northern Louisiana and Northeast Texas.  Likewise, a warm front was moving northward during the day towards the Interstate 20 corridor which allowed for increasing moisture and instability to reach the corridor by late morning into the afternoon hours.  Weak disturbances aloft continued to move eastward out of Northern Texas and these disturbances provided the lift necessary for scattered severe thunderstorms, all of which produced hail.  Again the hail produced by these thunderstorms ranged from near pea size to near golfball size given the steep mid level temperature lapse rates present.
