  "episodeNarrative": "A vigorous upper level trough traversed east through the Desert Southwest and into the Southern Rockies January 1st, before ejecting northeast across the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles into Western Kansas on the 2nd. In advance of this trough, rich low level moisture quickly spread northward from the Gulf of Mexico across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas, along a strong southerly low level jet that developed ahead of a deepening surface low over Southeast Colorado and Western Kansas. With the trough taking on a more negative tilt as it ejected northeast across the Panhandle region, a dryline mixed east to the I-35 corridor of North-central Texas by early evening, and into East Texas and Eastern Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours. Large scale forcing increased well ahead of the approaching upper trough across the expanding moist sector from the late morning through the afternoon and evening hours of the 2nd, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing across portions of Deep East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of North Louisiana, with isolated higher totals of 5-6+ inches observed Eastern Bienville, much of Jackson, Western Ouachita, and Eastern Union Parishes. This resulted in areas of flash flooding across portions of North Louisiana from the mid-afternoon through the early morning hours on the 3rd, with sporadic reports of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes across the region as well.",

  "eventNarrative": "An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph touched down near Terrell Road and Emanuel Church Road after it was initially spotted off of Little Egypt Road. There, it ripped some metal panels off of a home, flipped a swing set, and uprooted several trees. As the tornado continued on, it intermittently touched down several times, uprooting and snapping trees as it crossed Boline Road. At this location, it also damaged a small metal outbuilding. The tornado continued on to uprooted trees and down branches as it crossed Scourgout Road before lifting after crossing Thyra Johnson Road.",
