An upper level trough shifted east across the Four State Region during the afternoon and evening hours of April 9th, as it eventually became absorbed into northwest flow aloft as a longwave trough dug through the Plains and Mississippi Valley. This trough allowed for a cold front to slowly backdoor southwest into East Texas and North Louisiana, before becoming stationary over portions of Deep East Texas across the Toledo Bend Reservoir into Central Louisiana. Strong afternoon heating and rich low level moisture south of the front provided for moderate instability during the mid and late afternoon hours, with large scale forcing ahead of the approaching trough resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms increasing by late afternoon near and just south of the front. Some of the storms quickly became severe over portions of Deep East Texas, with multiple reports of large hail over Western and Central Sabine County. These storms tracked southeast into Northern Jasper and Newton Counties, and eventually into Northern Vernon Parishes, where they remained severe as they moved into Southwest Louisiana through the evening hours.

The river flood season got off to an early start as the year 2020 opened. Rather mild and wet conditions continued into the new year. Rainfall totals across the region were 1 to over 3 inches above normal for January. At Cape Girardeau, Missouri, it was the 4th wettest January on record with a total of 6.52 inches. The subtropical jetstream was very active, drawing in moisture from the eastern Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. This provided very heavy rainfall, especially during the first half of the month. Heavy rainfall on the 11th caused many of the region's rivers to rise rapidly. The mainstem Ohio River was already high and just began rising again.

During the evening of January 1st a debris flow of rocks and mud cut a railroad line about 10 miles east of Bonners Ferry. A BNSF train was derailed with 3 locomotives and 6 rail cars being pushed into the Kootenai River with two engineers trapped inside. The engineers were rescued without injury. Authorities worked through much of the month to remove the engines and contain diesel fuel leaking into the river. One locomotive was scrapped with the other two sent to a rail yard for extensive repairs.
The COOP observer at nearby Bonners Ferry recorded a high temperature of 44 degrees with 0.46 inches of rain on January 1st in the hours leading to the debris flow. This rain falling on melting snow is suspected of saturating the soil and destabilizing the slope along the rail line.
