A warm front lifted north during the afternoon of April 15, 2022, bringing moist and unstable air northward.  A cold front then pushed across the area and interacted with that moist and unstable air resulting in severe thunderstorms that brought very large hail and damaging winds. Most of the hail was produced by a lone supercell that moved from north-central Arkansas into eastern Arkansas. This storm produced hail as big as softballs.
