What happened

The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.

Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms developed during the overnight and early morning hours of April 14th, in a cool and moist air mass north of a weak cold frontal passage a couple of days prior. An upper level disturbance rounding the base of a low pressure system aloft over Central Arkansas enhanced a more concentrated area of shower and thunderstorm development over Northcentral Louisiana, with a couple of these storms becoming strong/severe. Given the very cool temperatures at the surface and aloft, a number of penny to quarter size hail reports were received over portions of Lincoln, Union, and Ouachita Parishes. Isolated reports of wind damage were noted as well given the saturated grounds from the heavy rains that fell over this area on April 11th.

440 AM CDT THU APR 14 2016

.DISCUSSION...
CLOSED UPPER LOW MEANDERING OVER CENTRAL/SRN AR...WITH MAIN AREA
OF SCATTERED CONVECTION JUST SOUTH OF THIS LOW...GENERALLY NEAR
AND JUST NORTH OF I-20. THIS AREA SHOULD SHIFT JUST SLIGHTLY WWD
TODAY...AND INSTABILITY SHOULD INCREASE DURG DAYTIME...SO EXPECT
THUNDER WITH THIS ACTIVITY MAINLY DURG AFTN HOURS. WEAK SFC LOW
OVER SE TX WILL KEEP LOW LVL FLOW FROM MAINLY NE...AND MOSTLY
CLOUDY TO CONTINUE TODAY AND TOMORROW...EVEN THOUGH CONVECTION
SHOULD SHIFT TO JUST ALONG AND EAST OF MS RIVER VALLEY ON FRIDAY.
MEANWHILE...MUCH LARGER UPPER LOW OVER PACIFIC NW TO DIG SE INTO
NM THIS WKND AND HOLD STEADY OVER THAT STATE FOR A DAY OR
TWO...KEEPING CONVECTION ASSOCIATED OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS.
SOUTHERLY FLOW TO INCREASE BUT DRY AIR IN MID LVLS SHOULD PRECLUDE
PRECIP ACROSS AREA FOR MOST OF WKND ACCORDING TO GFS. ECMWF HAS
SOME WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS FURTHER EAST INTO AREA. WILL INTRODUCE
ISOLD POPS INTO NE TX LATE IN WKND BUT INCREASING MOISTURE
QUICKLY AS THE LOW THEN MOVES INTO SOUTHERN PLAINS. HIGH CHANCE TO
LIKELY POPS AND POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LOW
WEAKENS AND LACK OF SFC FEATURES WILL MAKE IT TOUGH TO PINPOINT
THE POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ACROSS STILL WATERLOGGED PORTIONS OF CWA. AS THIS LOW MOVES
INTO OHIO VALLEY BY MID WEEK...SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL REDUCTION OF
RAIN CHANCES TOWARDS END OF EXTENDED PERIOD./VII/.
