Event narrative

Golf ball sized hail south of HWY 90, along HWY 141, east of Knobel.

Wider weather episode

Significant instability built across the Mid-South as temperatures climbed into the upper 70s and lower 80s and dewpoints topped out in the mid to upper 60s. This warm moist air provided very high instability for this time of year. Additionally, plentiful shear and exceptional lapse rates were available. In response to daytime heating and subtle height falls across northeast Arkansas, discrete supercells developed in the late afternoon resulting in all hazards.
