An area of low pressure aloft moved across Arkansas on the 27th, triggering thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Numerous storms produced hail. Much of the hail ranged from 1/4 to 3/4 inch in diameter, but some was quite a bit larger. In many cases, hail covered the ground and, in a few cases, roadways were briefly covered by hail. Temperatures ranged from the upper 30s to mid 40s in areas which experienced hail.
