A closed upper low pressure system entered the Four Corners Region on March 29th, before opening up into a trough which lifted through the Southern Rockies during the evening through the early morning hours of the 30th. A very strong southerly low level jet developed during the afternoon and evening of the 29th over the Southern Plains ahead of this ejecting trough, with large scale forcing along and east of the West Texas dryline contributing to the development of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, which marched east into East Texas during the early morning hours of the 30th. Enough instability lingered over portions of East Texas during the early morning hours which resulted in an scattered severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds which downed trees and damaged some homes. Even two isolated tornadoes were spawned from these storms over Red River and Sabine Counties. These storms eventually exited East Texas into North Louisiana by the mid-morning hours as they intensified in response to increased diurnal heating and instability.
