Wider weather episode

This system generated early morning thunderstorms across Northern Louisiana, some of these were severe, which then spread a decaying outflow boundary north-eastward across the Mississippi Delta and into North-Central Mississippi before dissipating. This complex of storms and then outflow boundary caused wind damage across portions of far Southeast Arkansas, Northeast Louisiana and portions of Mississippi. Additional isolated severe thunderstorms occurred later in the afternoon before the entire system exited to the northeast.
