Widespread severe weather and some flash flooding occurred over the ArkLaMiss region from the evening of March 30th through the evening of March 31st. On March 30th an upper level storm system moved into the region from the Southern Plains. It was accompanied by a slow moving cold front extending from a large surface low across the Central Plains into the middle Mississippi Valley.
A warm moisture rich air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved into the region as a warm front lifted northward on the 30th. A series of potent upper level disturbances crossed the region through the 31st, bringing a rapid increase in wind aloft and resulting in an unstable environment that contained high levels of wind shear. These factors set the stage for flash flooding and several rounds of severe weather. Widespread severe weather occurred with a mix of damaging winds, up to golf ball sized hail, and two EF-1 tornadoes that occurred in Lamar and Lowndes counties. Parts of the Delta region experienced flash flooding, especially in Washington, Sunflower, Leflore, Carroll, and Montgomery counties. Fifteen homes had to be evacuated at Moorhead in Sunflower County. There were flooding issues on many primary and secondary roads. There was also additional river flooding from this system.
The cold front moved across the region on night of the 31st, thus ending the severe weather from the northwest.
