A system dragged a cold front toward Arkansas on the 28th. The front sparked a line of showers and isolated thunderstorms. While temperatures remained mild (in the 60s to lower 70s), the atmosphere was not overly unstable. It made it difficult for thunderstorms to develop, and there was very little lightning.
Looking aloft, winds were sustained at 50 to 60 mph between 5000 and 10000 feet. These higher speeds combined with acceleration in heavy downpours were driven toward the ground in spots. This resulted in some wind damage.
At Haskell (Saline County), trees were downed and minor roof damage occurred. A dugout was also destroyed at a local high school. A large pine tree fell on a mobile home in the Landmark area about ten miles south of Little Rock (Pulaski County). A woman was injured and was taken to a hospital. Just northeast of Williford (Sharp County), a barn was heavily damaged. A house near Guy (Faulkner County) lost much of its roof. More trees were toppled around Ozone (Johnson County), Solgohachia (Conway County), Quitman (Cleburne County), and east of Malvern (Hot Spring County).
