A weak cold front pushed through much of the Ark-La-Tex on June 3rd, and became stationary from the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles southeast across Northcentral and Deep East Texas and Central Louisiana. Meanwhile, a shortwave trough shifted southeast across much of Oklahoma into North Texas during the afternoon and evening hours of June 4th, along the stationary front, thus igniting scattered showers and thunderstorms across portions of East Texas during peak heating. Given the forcing aloft near the front within a hot, humid, and unstable air mass, some of these storms became severe across Northern Smith and Nacogdoches Counties, with damaging winds downing trees across these areas, as well as marginally severe hail falling north of Tyler. In addition, a 61 year old female was injured when lightning struck a nearby tree for a second time from these storms northeast of Tyler.
