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 pre-dawn hours of the 30th, and North Louisiana from the mid-morning through the early afternoon. Diurnal heating contributed to increased instability by mid and late morning over North Louisiana, which resulted in scattered severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. These storms eventually exited North Louisiana to the east by mid-afternoon.
