A warm front mixed north across portions of Deep East Texas to near the Louisiana/Arkansas border during the early morning hours of April 7th, but steep lapse rates aloft and a shortwave trough which ejected northeast over Northeast Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas enhanced the development of scattered elevated strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of East Texas and North Louisiana near and north of the front. Several reports of large hail were received from these storms during the early morning hours prior to daybreak, with additional strong to severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds developing later in the afternoon across portions of Deep East Texas ahead of the primary upper level trough that lifted east out of Southwest New Mexico and across much of Central Texas and Louisiana. These storms eventually diminished during the late afternoon hours once the upper trough shifted east of the region into the Lower Mississippi Valley.
