EF1 tornado in Arkansas County, Arkansas

The tornado initially destroyed a shed and carport. Farther to the northeast, windows were broken in a house and pieces of wood were driven into the house's siding, and a shed was destroyed. A mobile home was rolled over, causing its destruction. Many of its contents were thrown out into a field. Near the DeWitt airport, a metal building was destroyed, the wall of a second metal building was pushed in, and much of the roof was torn off a tractor shed. Near the end of the tornado's path, trees and power poles were blown down.

The day of the 22nd began cloudy, chilly, and foggy across most of Arkansas. During the day, however, much warmer air surged northward across much of the state. In the evening, a cold front plowed into the warmth and moisture, triggering severe thunderstorms and seven tornadoes.
