The wider storm

A surface low developed in southeast Texas early November 26th and tracked northeast towards central Arkansas throughout the day. At the same time, a cold front tracked across western Louisiana while a warm front lifted north across southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. Moisture rich unstable air within this warm sector over the local area provided the environment to support a few severe thunderstorms. Severe winds, a tornado and flash flooding occurred with this event.

Began near Clotilda (29.6600, -90.5400).
