The wider storm

A couple rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms developed across northwestern Arkansas on the 28th, as a warm front stretched across the area and an upper level disturbance approached from the west. The atmosphere across the region was moderately unstable with strong deep-layer wind shear, the combination of which supported the development of some supercell thunderstorms. Very large hail up to three inches in diameter occurred with the strongest thunderstorms.

Began near Cave Spgs (36.2100, -94.2200).
