A strong upper disturbance propagated through the southern Great Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley between Thursday and late Friday. This system brought a couple rounds of storms during this time as it combined with increasing deep moisture and strong upper level winds. Conditions were favorable for large hail and damaging winds as stronger lift combined with the moisture and instability. A couple large intense supercell storms developed and produced hail up to 2 inches in diameter. Other intense storms also produced significant wind gusts of at least 80 mph which snapped power poles, specifically across far southeast Arkansas.
In addition to the severe storms, a combination of heavy rain was produced from other disturbances that moved through between Thursday and Friday nights. Widespread 3-5 inches of rain, with some locally higher amounts, fell across the region. Rivers rose quickly in response to the heavy rainfall, which caused minor to moderate flooding across the region.
