The wider storm
The month started with an unstable situation on the 3rd. A cold front drifted into Arkansas from the north. The front separated springlike air to its south from much cooler air over the northern counties. Afternoon temperatures stayed in the 50s at Harrison (Boone County). Meanwhile, the mercury hit 85 degrees at Little Rock (Pulaski County). This was the second warmest day on record in November, and only a degree away from the 86 degree mark reached on the 13th in 1955.
Scattered thunderstorms developed in the afternoon, mainly from central into southeast sections of the state. Some of the storms were severe, with mainly hail reported. Golf ball size hail pelted East Camden (Ouachita County). Damaging winds also downed trees, with one tree on a house. Ping pong ball size hail fell a few miles south of Sherrill (Jefferson County), with half dollar size hail at Redfield (Jefferson County), and quarter size hail at Warren (Bradley County).
