Episode Narrative A closed upper level low pressure system drifted east across Northcentral Texas and Central Oklahoma during the afternoon of March 24th. Meanwhile, an intense surface low pressure system developed over Central Oklahoma, resulting in gusty southerly winds which quickly transported very warm and moist air northward across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. This resulted in an unstable air mass, and coupled with the strong wind shear in place and increased forcing ahead of this low pressure system, resulted in strong to severe thunderstorms developing during the early evening through a portion of the overnight hours. Numerous reports of damaging winds were received across East Texas, North Louisiana, and extreme Southern Arkansas, with several tornadoes also touching down across Harrison County Texas, as well as Desoto, Natchitoches, and Jackson Parishes in Northern Louisiana. The strongest storms exited Northcentral Louisiana by 1 am on March 25th, but strong, slow moving storms persisted through the overnight hours across the southern sections of Northcentral Louisiana, resulting in beneficial rainfall for these areas.
Event Narrative An EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds between 100-110 mph touched down along Highway 505 in Southern Jackson Parish between Highway 167 and Highway 4, southwest of Weston. The primary damage was snapped trees. However, one metal outbuilding was overturned.
