A potent storm system, for mid October standards, impacted our region during the latter half of October 13th. A warm and unstable airmass was in place ahead of a developing low pressure system and associated cold front. This cold front moved through the region during the afternoon and evening hours of the 13th, bringing damaging winds and hail with it to the ArkLaMiss region. Some showers and storms also developed ahead of the squall line, which caused some additional damage in eastern Mississippi. The line of storms moved out of the region by mid-evening with some lingering showers that continued through the night.
