The wider storm

Strong Southwest winds developed across the Delta region of Northeast Arkansas during the late morning and afternoon hours on April 10, 2016. Loose top soil from recent spring farming caused the visibility to drop to a quarter of a mile or less at times in blowing dust. More traveled west to east roads across open areas were most impacted with several car accidents being reported.
