Intense nocturnal convection early on September 24th became focused across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas within an area of strong low-level warm advection, in the vicinity of a 30+ knot southwesterly low-level jet. This convection continued to shift east southeast ahead of an advancing cold front across the Southern Plains through the early morning hours with a gradual veering of the low-level jet. Convection intensified toward the Middle Red River Valley of Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas, within a modestly unstable area of inflow. Although gradual weakening was observed, a few severe thunderstorms continued south into parts of extreme Northeast Texas with a few reports of isolated damaging wind gusts shortly before daybreak. Additional severe convection developed along and just ahead of the cold front later in the evening with numerous reports of damaging wind gusts across much of East and Northeast Texas.
