A front stalled across the Mid-South started to lift north as low pressure tracked into southwest Missouri. Meanwhile, a potent upper-level disturbance tracked across the region and triggered thunderstorms across Missouri. The airmass across the Mid-South was ripe for severe storms with strong shear and instability in place. Clusters of severe storms moved into northern parts of the Mid-South by mid-afternoon and moved east-southeast through the evening hours producing damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding. This was the second day in a row that northern sections of the Mid-South suffered widespread severe weather.
