Scattered severe thunderstorms developed over the eastern sections of north central Louisiana during the peak heating of the afternoon on the 1st, generally along a weak surface trough and upper level disturbance that extended from southeast Texas into central Louisiana and Mississippi. These thunderstorms produced several reports of damaging winds, which downed trees and power lines in Ouachita, Caldwell, Jackson, and Winn Parishes. The most extensive damage came from a downburst near the Monroe Regional Airport.
