A nearly stationary frontal boundary maintained a focus for widespread severe weather across Southeast Oklahoma into the Ark-La-Tex region throughout the day on June 13th. Northwesterly flow aloft, ahead of an upper trough over the Great Lakes, combined with this stalled frontal boundary to funnel a series of embedded shortwave disturbances across the entire region. This included one strong shortwave in particular that maintained the threat of severe thunderstorms throughout most of the afternoon and evening hours, producing multiple rounds of thunderstorms. With ample ingredients for severe weather, including mid-level lapse rates near 7-8C/km or greater, large hail was the primary threat with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes slightly lower on the threat scale. Numerous local storm reports of large hail were documented throughout the event across Southwest Arkansas.
