The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
A weak upper level disturbance traversed east-northeast across the Red River Valley and North Texas into Southwest Arkansas and extreme Northwest Louisiana during the late evening through the overnight hours of June 6th-7th, across a warm, moist, and unstable air mass already in place. Large scale forcing coupled with adequate wind shear contributed to the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms across these areas, with a couple of isolated severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds that downed a couple of trees in Southern Howard County Arkansas and Northeast Wood County Texas.
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 Jun 6, 10:31 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1131 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 ...New DISCUSSION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1100 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 - Showers and thunderstorms again possible on Sunday. Those with outdoor activities scheduled should plan accordingly. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors! - Periods of locally heavy rainfall on Sunday will bring a localized flooding threat across some areas. Remember, turn around, don't drown! - Peak afternoon heat index values by the middle of next week may approach 105 degrees. Summertime heat safety plans should be reviewed and readied. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1100 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 An upper-low centered across the Texas Panhandle has been the main driver for convection across the region this evening. With the loss of diurnal heating, overall convective intensity is expected to diminish. However, lingering showers and thunderstorms may remain possible through much of the overnight hours due to an overall unstable atmosphere rich in gulf moisture remaining in place. The upper-low will move northeast on Sunday with low-level moisture advection continuing. Could see convection redeveloping along and south of I-20 as early as mid-morning, increasing in coverage throughout the afternoon. A few strong storms may be possible north of I-30 during the afternoon and evening. In the wake of the departing upper-low, an upper-level ridge in the Gulf of America is forecast to build north across the ArkLaTex and remain firmly established through much of the the workweek. Subsidence associated with the ridge will allow for mainly dry conditions and afternoon high temperatures in the mid 90s from Wednesday onward. Afternoon heat index values approaching 105 degrees may also be a concern nearly areawide each day. A weak frontal boundary to drift south across the region late in the work-week providing enough low-level instability to generate a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms beneath the prevailing upper-ridge on Friday. /05/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 630 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 VFR ceilings generally prevail this evening despite pockets of convection. Expect these conditions to continue through about midnight where then ceilings will drop to lower-end MVFR and IFR. Ceilings will remain low until around mid-morning on Sunday where they will gradually lift and eventually reach VFR Sunday afternoon. Convection will be a challenge to contend with through the TAF period. Current convection should gradually wane through late evening, however, a squall line may approach western terminals (mainly TYR) around or just after midnight before weakening and pushing east towards GGG, TXK, and SHV. Thereafter, scattered convection is likely to develop toward 12z area-wide and continue through the rest of the TAF period. Winds will be gusty and erratic around thunderstorms and TEMPO groups will likely be needed as trends hopefully become more clear into Sunday. Outside of convection, SE winds tonight will decrease to 5kts or less overnight before shifting S/SW early Sunday and increasing to around 10-12kts with occasional gusts 18-20kts.
