A weak upper level trough moved into much of Arkansas, Northeast and Central Texas, and North Louisiana during the afternoon and evening hours of May 21st, which helped to reinforce a weak cold front southeast into the region during the evening and overnight hours. The air mass ahead of the front was very unstable, with steep lapse rates present along the trough once large scale forcing was adequate enough to initiate shower and thunderstorm development. As a result, showers and thunderstorms quickly developed during the early to mid evening hours along and just ahead of the front, with many of these storms becoming severe across East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northwest Louisiana. Damaging winds and isolated instances of large hail accompanied these storms, before they weakened by midnight that night as they moved into portions of North Louisiana.
