Read the full account →Early morning thunderstorms across southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas produced an outflow boundary that afternoon convection developed on across northwest Louisiana. This activity developed in a very unstable and moist air mass.
Read the full account →Scattered showers and thunderstorms repeatedly developing across southwest Louisiana during the afternoon hours caused significant flash flooding in the Lake Charles area.
Read the full account →An area of low pressure over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico allowed an abundance of moisture to move north across the region. A few storms with heavy rains crossed portions of northeast Louisiana.
Read the full account →A warm front lifted north across the local area during the morning hours. This brought in a surge of warm and moist air. At the same time, mid level temperatures were dropping. That combination dramatically increased instability across the region.
