Very warm, moist, and humid air spread back north across East Texas, North Louisiana, Southwest Arkansas, and Southeast Oklahoma during the afternoon hours of May 3rd, along a strong southerly low level jet. This resulted in a moderately unstable air mass across the region, which lingered during the evening hours across Southeast Oklahoma, ahead of a upper trough that moved across the Southern Plains. This trough enhanced large scale forcing along the dryline across Central Oklahoma and North Texas, with scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developing over these areas, which shifted east northeast into the unstable air across portions of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas during the late evening and early morning hours of the 14th. Numerous reports of damaging winds were received across these areas before the storms diminished during the early morning hours of the 4th.
These storms left behind a cold pool surface boundary across portions of East Texas, extreme Northwest Louisiana, and South-central Arkansas, which focused additional severe thunderstorm development from the late morning through the afternoon hours of the 4th, as large scale forcing again increased with the approaching upper trough atop the moderately unstable air mass along this mesoscale boundary. Additional reports of damaging winds were received across Deep East Texas and North Louisiana from these storms, before they spread southeast into Eastern and Southern Louisiana and Mississippi by mid and late afternoon.
