The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
The remnants of a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that originated over the Texas Panhandle and Northwest Texas during the early morning hours of June 2nd drifted east southeast into portions of East Texas and Northwest Louisiana during the daytime hours. An associated outflow boundary from this system focused scattered thunderstorm development during the afternoon across the southern half of Deep East Texas into Northwest Louisiana, where moderate instability developed once temperatures climbed into the lower 90s. As a result, a couple of these storms became severe along and near this residual outflow boundary, which downed trees in Desoto and Natchitoches Parishes, and also produced large hail in Northwest Natchitoches Parish. These storms eventually weakened during the evening with the loss of heating and diminished instability.
The Shreveport radar (KSHV), 64 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 19:30 UTC.
2 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail. Local standard time, as filed.
