A warm front lifted north through the Mid-South during the day on April 9th. As a result, moist and unstable air pushed into the region ahead of a potent upper-level disturbance approaching from the Central Plains. A couple of lines of severe storms with large hail ignited and pushed across Northeast Arkansas and West Tennessee during the early evening hours. Another line developed across North Mississippi and rolled through later in the evening with damaging winds, large hail, and some flash flooding.
