Moist southerly flow and daytime heating ahead of a strong trough combined with sufficient wind shear to bring a line of severe storms through the region. Within this line, a few tornadoes and some wind damage occurred across Louisiana and Arkansas and the Delta of Mississippi.

An EF1 tornado developed on the evening of April 7, near Cave Off Road near Bayou Bartholomew in Morehouse Parish, LA. The tornado damaged a large barn along Newman Road. Sheet metal was peeled off and thrown toward the north. The tornado tracked northeast across Bonner Ferry Road where several large trees were uprooted and branches snapped. Continuing northeast, the tornado moved across Greenwood Road where it became the most intense. Several homes here were damaged, primarily by numerous large falling trees. One home suffered the most severe damage, with the entirety of the roofing structure being removed and thrown. The home was seemingly compromised by an attached garage that faced directly into the strongest tornadic wind. This, coupled with the home having below average roof-to-wall anchoring (straight nail and older/weakened wood) likely resulted in the failure of the structure. Here an elderly female was injured. The tornado continued to the northeast, at a slightly weaker EF-1 intensity where it downed multiple trees and crossed HWY 425 . The tornado continued to the northeast doing intermittent tree damage before dissipating west of Galion. The max estimated winds were around 105 mph.
