Flash Flood — Jackson, LA

Mar 15, 2025

Robust thunderstorm development began late in the evening on March 14th through the morning hours on March 15th along a dryline from the Hot Springs region southward toward Texarkana and into much of North Louisiana. Upper air analysis suggested that low to mid-level winds were not quite as strong as compared to areas farther to the north. However, a strengthening low-level jet sampled by the KSHV (Shreveport, Louisiana) radar supported 0-1 km storm relative helicity (SRH) on the order of 200-30
