Numerous showers and elevated thunderstorms, including some supercells, repeatedly developed and moved northward across much of the northern Gulf of Mexico early Thursday morning. As the main upper level system approached Louisiana early Thursday morning, a squall line developed across east Texas and moved rapidly eastward across the northern Gulf of Mexico, causing several reports of strong winds.
