The wider storm

Clusters of thunderstorms developed overnight along a stalled frontal boundary draped across Texas from the Permian Basin to southeastern Oklahoma on April 29th. Those individual clusters congealed into a Mesoscale Convective System on April 30th from the I-20 corridor in Texas to central Oklahoma. This MCS steadily tracked southeast towards Louisiana, reaching southeast Louisiana in the morning hours of May first. A storm along the leading edge of the convection produced a severe wind gust in local marine waters.

Began near Bay Gardene Near Point-a-la-hache (29.6300, -89.9700).
