An upper ridge of high pressure remained anchored over Central Mexico into west central Texas and Western Oklahoma on June 25th-26th. However, a weak surface front remained stationary from portions of Southeast Oklahoma into Western and Southwest Arkansas, as a shortwave trough rounding the top of the ridge axis shifted southeast along the stalled front. Ample surface and elevated instability and adequate moisture remained near this front, with large scale forcing associated with the trough enhancing scattered severe thunderstorm development across portions of McCurtain County Oklahoma into portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and much of Northwest Louisiana during the early morning hours of June 26th. Instances of large hail were reported initially, before transitioning to damaging winds as the storms accelerated into extreme Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northwest Louisiana. These storms then weakened as they exited the region by mid-morning.
