EF0 tornado in Poinsett County, Arkansas

Around 7:39 PM CDT, a tornado touched down just south of Highway 214E just to the east of the town of Fisher. The tornado crossed Highway 214E between Prairie City Lane and Bornhoft Lane, leading to multiple, rotted trees snapped with large tree limbs broken and a power line damaged in the vicinity. The tornado remained on the ground moving through fields, before lifting before the L'Anguille River southwest of the town of Harrisburg. Track may be adjusted in the future pending further evaluation.

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.
