A large upper trough dug through the Southern Plains during the afternoon and overnight hours on April 12th-13th, allowing the dry line to mix east into Central Texas. Large scale forcing increased along the dry line across Central Texas during the late afternoon through the evening, as these storms tapped moderate instability and increasing wind shear ahead of this system. These storms eventually developed in a quasi-linear convection system (QLCS), as they became severe and accelerated east across much of East Texas during the evening through the early morning hours of the 13th. Instances of large hail and damaging winds were reported from these storms, before they moved into North Louisiana during the early morning hours. The southern extent of this complex of storms eventually slowed as they became more parallel (west to east) to the extensive area of damaging winds, resulting in these storms developing/moving repeatedly over the same areas of Nacogdoches and Shelby Counties. Thus, instances of flash flooding were reported across these areas, as widespread rainfall amounts of three to in excess of five inches were observed. Additional showers and thunderstorms developed across East Texas during the mid-morning through the early afternoon hours of April 13th along a cold front, with some of these storms also becoming severe, downing trees across the area. These storms exited East Texas into Southwest Arkansas and North Louisiana during the early afternoon hours.
