Hail and Damaging Winds in Texas, December 25, 2012
During the night of the 24th, a stationary frontal boundary across the Southeast Texas and Southern Louisiana coast began moving northward as a warm front as a deep upper level disturbance moved out of the Four Corners Region and into the Plains. This front delineated a very cold air mass north of it with a very warm and unstable air mass south of the boundary.

What happened
The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
During the night of the 24th, a stationary frontal boundary across the Southeast Texas and Southern Louisiana coast began moving northward as a warm front as a deep upper level disturbance moved out of the Four Corners Region and into the Plains. This front delineated a very cold air mass north of it with a very warm and unstable air mass south of the boundary. The front moved north and became stationary near the lower Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn country of Deep East Texas, into Central Louisiana during the late morning and afternoon hours of Christmas Day. Initially, showers and thunderstorms developed during the predawn hours with storms overriding the front and becoming elevated. These storms primarily produced large hail. However as the day went on, the storms become more surface based. Eventually, a squall line developed south of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana with damaging wind gusts the main result.

.DISCUSSION...
WELL...BUSY MORNING FOR THOSE OF US ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED
STATES. POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS WEST TEXAS HAS
SLOWED ITS SOUTHERN PROGRESS AND OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS
SHOULD MOVE IN A NEARLY DUE EAST FASHION ACROSS THE AREA. AT THE
SURFACE...A WARM FRONT IS ATTEMPTING TO LIFT NORTHWARD FROM THE
GULF COAST. AS IT DOES SO...SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
AS BULK SHEAR IS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS AND CAPE IS GREATER THAN 1000
J/KG IN AREAS SOUTH AND WEST OF THE I-49 CORRIDOR. WITH THESE
PARAMETERS IN PLACE AND STEEP LAPSE RATES IN THE MID LEVELS...HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT THIS MORNING.
A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE OUT OF SOUTH TEXAS BY MID
MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD TO JUST SOUTH OF KSHV BY 00Z
WEDNESDAY. THIS SOUTHERLY TRACK OF THE LOW WILL HELP FAVOR WINTRY
WEATHER FOR THE NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. MOISTURE LOOKS
ABUNDANT WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE FOR AT LEAST MCCURTAIN COUNTY
OKLAHOMA...WHERE 4-6 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. EXTREME
NORTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS SHOULD SEE SOME SNOWFALL AS
WELL...MORE IN THE 1 TO AS MUCH AS 3 INCH RANGE. PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN LOUISIANA WILL LIKELY SEE SNOWFLAKES FLYING TUESDAY NIGHT
AS THE LOW RETREATS EASTWARD...BUT ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED.
ANOTHER THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS. HAVE ISSUED A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY TO HIGHLIGHT THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED AFTER
THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. 15 TO 25
MPH WINDS WILL BE COMMON AREAWIDE...DUE TO THE STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS POWERFUL SYSTEM.
COOL AND DRIER AIR WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE AREA AFTER THE STORM
SYSTEM PULLS EASTWARD BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. CALM WEATHER
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE FOUND FOR MOST OF THE WEEK...WITH ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING BY FRIDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE COLD
THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS...AND AREAS THAT RECEIVE SNOWFALL WILL SEE
SOME VERY COLD NIGHTS. /20/
&&
.AVIATION...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT WILL EDGE NORTH JUST INLAND
OF THE UPPER TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COAST WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
TO PRODUCE LOWERING CLOUDS AND VISIBILITIES FOR MUCH OF THE FOUR
STATE REGION THROUGH THE DAY WITH COLD AIR ARRIVING THIS AFTERNOON
AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF A SURFACE LOW MOVING ALONG THE STATIONARY
BOUNDARY ALLOWING THE PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE OVER TO A MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW AND THEN OVER TO SNOW OVER THE FOUR STATE REGION NORTH OF
I-20. SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE AS A PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
WITH SPEEDS BECOMING NORTHWEST 15 TO 25 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS.
WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED OVERNIGHT DROPPING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST
NEAR MID DAY WEDNESDAY. /06/
