An outflow boundary from showers and thunderstorms that developed over Southwest Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours on April 10th became stationary over Northern McCurtain County Oklahoma into the adjacent sections of Western Arkansas during the early morning hours of April 11th. This boundary focused scattered shower and thunderstorm development through the morning of the 11th, with large scale forcing enhanced especially during the afternoon and evening hours as a weak upper level trough traversed the Red River Valley of Southern Oklahoma/North Texas into Southwest Arkansas. Afternoon heating and cooling temperatures aloft ahead of this disturbance contributed to moderate instability developing especially over Southeast Oklahoma, Northeast Texas, and portions of Southwest Arkansas, contributing to the development of several severe thunderstorms over these areas. Damaging winds were the primary severe weather mode over Southwest Arkansas, with numerous trees and power lines downed especially across the south side of Texarkana Texas and Arkansas. Several other supercell thunderstorms developed over the north side of the DFW Metroplex near and south of a cold front, and moved east southeast into Northeast Texas during the late afternoon and evening hours. These storms were prolific hail producers, with numerous reports of quarter to golfball size hail, with even larger stones to the size of baseballs and larger over Wood and Upshur Counties. The storms weakened during the late evening hours as the instability diminished.
