What the National Weather Service wrote

A CO-OP observer estimated winds at 60 mph in the town of Damascus.

The wider storm

An approaching frontal boundary to the Natural State at the beginning of the episode would become a stationary boundary as the upper level flow pattern would begin as an approaching positively-tilted trough axis which would become an omega block and lock the mesoscale feature of the stationary boundary in position across Arkansas leading to a multiple day period of severe weather.

Began near Damascus (35.3600, -92.4100).
