A powerful storm system helped develop a deep low pressure area which moved from North Texas to Northwest Arkansas. The combination of cold air aloft, strong jet dynamics, and the clash with an unstable airmass helped to send a line of severe storms across the region during the day. The line exited the region by mid afternoon. As the core of the upper low pressure system crossed the area, a second bowing line of storms crossed the northern portion of the county warning area during the late afternoon and early evening. Numerous reports of hail and wind damage occurred with this complex system as it tracked through the region.
