EF1 tornado in Crawford County, Arkansas

This tornado developed in a large corn field north of Gun Club Road and east of Highway 59. It moved north-northwest across Hollis Lake Road, where a few trees were uprooted and numerous large tree limbs were snapped. It then moved across an oxbow lake, crossed Hale Farm Road, and dissipated. The tornado produced a tornadic debris signature from the KSRX WSR-88D radar. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 85 to 95 mph.

A broken band of thunderstorms developed across portions of northwestern Arkansas during the evening of the 6th, as an upper level disturbance approached the region. Low level wind shear increased with the approach of the disturbance, and this wind shear combined with a moderately unstable air mass that had developed, resulted in some of the storms developing low level rotation, which supported the formation of three tornadoes across Sebastian and Crawford Counties.
