A warm front lifted north into Deep East Texas and the southern sections of North Central Louisiana by afternoon on April 19th, ahead of a vigorous upper level trough that ejected east from New Mexico across Texas. Large scale forcing increased by afternoon ahead of the trough as it approached the expanding warm sector, characteristic of moderate instability and strong wind shear. Areas of showers and thunderstorms developed and became widespread near and north of the warm front, and limited the northward progress of the front, but severe thunderstorms still developed within the warm sector across Deep East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana, resulting in areas of damaging winds across these areas. An isolated elevated severe thunderstorm also developed over portions of Lamar County Texas, which moved into Red River County and produced quarter size hail near Clarksville. These storms eventually weakened during the mid evening hours with the passage of the trough through the area.
