The wider storm

An upper-level shortwave trough moving east through the Central Plains initiated a few clusters of thunderstorms over northern Louisiana early in the morning of June 18th. With an unstable air mass and strong jet stream over the region, these storms became severe and produced damaging wind in portions of far northeast Louisiana.

Began near Sacksonia (32.4500, -91.5900).
