re: Severe threat moving into East Texas/North Louisiana

Those two tor warned storms have managed to stay just ahead of the front. That's allowed them to take advantage of the environment. Fortunately, the environment to the east of them (NW LA) has been under rain and clouds all day, so hopefully they weaken as they progress east. Or, the front finally catches up and they get absorbed into the line.

The southern storm approaching Tyler is warned for ping pong ball sized hail, too. Ans the severe warned storm that is crossing the state line near Many is, too.
