The wider storm

A cluster of thunderstorms developed in Mexico along the Texas/Mexico border west of San Antonio on the evening of April 14th. This cluster was able to maintain continuity to at least some degree all the way across Texas. As it moved into western Louisiana on the morning of the 15th, it was tracking into an environment of increased instability. This aided in the organization of these storms into a Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCS). As the MCS raced across Louisiana into Mississippi, it produced damaging winds at various locations in this portion of the state.

Began near Tylertown Arpt (31.1800, -90.1800).
