In wake of the strong to severe thunderstorms that developed during the early morning through the afternoon on January 21st, colder air began to spill south into portions of Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northern Louisiana during the evening and overnight hours. As the air column began to cool near the upper level disturbance as it approached the region from the west, areas of light rain began to change over to snow across portions of extreme Eastern Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana. Some light snow accumulations occurred across portions of Harrison County, Texas, as well as portions of Southwest Arkansas and extreme Northern Louisiana generally north of the Interstate 20 corridor. Snowfall amounts of around one inch fell in the city of Marshall, Texas from a quick burst of moderate snow. This resulted in some light snow accumulations on the roads and grassy surfaces, with the snow quickly melting soon afterwards as temperatures were above freezing.
