What happened
The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Severe thunderstorms developed in the morning, and again in the|afternoon, on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. The thunderstorms formed after|several days of record setting hot weather, which was the result of a|persistent ridge of high pressure in the middle and upper atmosphere.|On 21 June 2011 a strong trough developed in the middle and upper levels|of the atmosphere moved from west to east across the central Plains|breaking down the upper level ridge over the Four State area. This|strong upper level trough allowed for gusty south winds to occur at the|surface of the atmosphere in the four State area, and brought enough|lift and instability to the atmosphere to allow scattered severe|thunderstorms to develop both in the morning and the afternoon of 21|June 2011. These thunderstorms produced wind damage and a few|tornadoes, in addition to brief episodes of heavy rainfall.

MCS OVER N TX CONTINUES TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS E THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH IT HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF DECAYING IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES AS IT BEGINS TO OUTRUN THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRY LINE/COLD FRONT INTERSECTION...EXTENDING FROM NE OK /JUST E OF TUL/...INTO SCNTRL OK TO NEAR MWL AND S OF ABI. BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MCS WILL LIKELY SERVE AS FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THIS MORNING ACROSS NE TX/SE OK/SW AR...AS THE INITIAL SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE CNTRL/SRN PLAINS EJECTS NE ALONG AND N OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR THIS MORNING.

CAN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SVR THREAT TODAY IN POCKETS OF INSTABILITY THAT DEVELOPS...BUT BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM THE STRONGER STORMS. THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN BY EARLY EVENING...ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO LOOK UPSTREAM THIS EVENING NEAR THE NEARLY STATIONARY COOL FRONT...AS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BNDRY WILL INCREASE BY EARLY EVENING ALONG A 30KT SWRLY LLJ...AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE ROUNDS THE PLAINS TROUGH.

WILL KEEP HIGH CHANCE POPS AREAWIDE TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH ANY POTENTIAL MCS THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WEAKENS IN RESPONSE TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERING MORE WSW OVER THE REGION. CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WIND DOWN WEDNESDAY FROM NW TO SE...WITH THE PRIMARY UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE. SHORT TERM PROGS INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT MAY BE REINFORCED SWD BY THE MORNING CONVECTION INTO EXTREME NE TX/SW AR WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT SHOULD WASH OUT DURING THE DAY. BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THE STORMS WEDNESDAY...AS LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL REMAIN QUITE WEAK ATOP A VERY MOIST PW ENVIRONMENT /AOA 2 INCHES/.

UPPER RIDGING OVER NRN MX WILL BEGIN TO BUILD E ACROSS WCNTRL TX FRIDAY...BEFORE EXPANDING E OVER OUR REGION DURING THE WEEKEND. THE GFS DOES WANT TO GENERATE A POTENTIAL MCS IN THE NW FLOW ROUNDING THE RIDGE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS SE OK/SW AR. THE ECMWF IS MUCH DRIER...MAINTAINING A STRONGER RIDGE FARTHER E THAN THE GFS.
