During the late afternoon and evening of June 1st, scattered severe thunderstorms developed across the region and moved in a general east direction. Portions of northeast Mississippi first experienced a few isolated severe cells which brought hail and damaging wind. The main event was associated with a line of storms which raced out of central Arkansas and slammed a large portion of the Mississippi Delta with 50 to 60 mph winds. The line continued to evolve across northern Mississippi as it pushed east. Widespread wind damage to trees and power lines occurred with the line of storms.
