Episode Narrative A potent upper level storm system ejected into the Central Plains on April 9th. An attendant developing cold front moved southeastward into the region during the late afternoon hours. A warm prefrontal airmass was noted across all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana during the late afternoon and evening hours which meant that strong instability was present. Deep layer shear was supportive of supercell and multicell thunderstorms. Low level storm relative helicity was also supportive of tornadoes, at least initially across Northeast Texas.
Event Narrative An EF-1 tornado touched down 6.5 miles northwest of Hallsville, Texas and traveled nearly 4.5 miles before lifting 4.5 miles north northwest of Hallsville, Texas. Several homes received significant damage near the intersection of Wanda Lane and Curtis Black Road, but it was mainly caused by trees falling on them.
