The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
A warm front shifted north across portions of Deep East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana during the morning and mid-afternoon hours on November 29th, well ahead of an upper level low pressure system over Westcentral Texas. This warm front transported much warmer, more humid, and unstable air northward, with impulses in the southwest flow aloft ahead of the upper low lifting northeast across the area along the warm front. Very strong wind shear was also present within the increasingly unstable air mass, resulting in scattered strong to severe thunderstorm development from the mid-morning hours across portions of Deep East Texas, which shifted northeast into the southern and eastern sections of Northcentral Louisiana during the afternoon and evening. These storms produced multiple reports of hail and damaging winds which downed trees across Shelby and Angelina Counties in Deep East Texas, as well as Grant, La Salle, and Caldwell Parishes in Northcentral Louisiana. A couple reports of funnel clouds were also received from Caldwell Parish, but no tornado touchdowns were determined from National Weather Service damage surveys.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 29, 12:52 PM CST, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1252 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2016 .UPDATE... Isolated showers have developed across portions of northeast TX and southwest AR, though within drier air. Do not expect much /if at all/ in the way of precipitation, but have adjusted the forecast to reflect this trend, with the showers tapering off in the next few hours. Focus for severe thunderstorm potential remains across portions of Deep East TX northeast towards southwest AR and locales eastward later this afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1203 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2016/ AVIATION... Scattered convection mainly south of I-20, has increased as a warm front to the south advances nwd into the area. These storms continuing since early this am near the KLFK terminal, are skirting just south of KSHV terminal, and gradually advancing towards the KMLU terminal. A cold front will also move across ne TX this aftn and likely a squall line to develop around 30/00z affecting mainly KMLU and KELD terminals this eve but possibly briefly affect KSHV and KLFK near 30/00z. Stgr cells this aftn may contain hail and gusty winds over 40 kts, with possible straight line winds with storms invok cold front this eve. Overall svr threat to progress later in day with tornadic potential over eastern cwa. Lgt to sw winds around 10 kts expected this aftn. Most sites outside of convection are vfr with mid lvl cloud decks except for KMLU terminal where some ocnl IFR cigs and lowered vsbys have persisted beyond mrng. Skies becmg vfr skc later tonight and continue thru end of fcst period with frontal w-nw winds around 10 kts after 30/13z./VII/. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 425 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2016/ DISCUSSION... The dryline that ushered in active weather yesterday has stalled and will washout later today. The upper level low to the west will push a cold front through later today with a warm front moving northeast ahead of the front. Expect an increase in clouds today which will keep temperatures in the 70s and dewpoints in the upper 40s to lower 50s. The low level moisture along with warmer temperatures could allow east texas and central Louisiana areas to see severe weather later today, mainly hail and wind. The cold front will move out early Wednesday morning with cool drier air behind the front with surface high pressure providing subsidence and cooler conditions during the early morning and overnight hours. We will provide graphics about the severe weather this morning showing the areas in the slight risk. The next weather maker will be another trough of low pressure out of the Pacific northwest that will move into southwestern US. The GFS and Euro show the trough moving into the area on Saturday with overrunning ahead of the front. The difference in the models are in the timing of the rain ending the EURO moves the rain out early monday while the GFS keeps the overrunning conditions into Tuesday and early Wednesday. 21 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
