Episode Narrative A strong upper level short wave move from west to east across the Central Plains states of the U.S. driving a cold front southeast into the Four State Region. Strong to severe thunderstorms formed in the unstable air mass ahead of the cold front. The front and at least 3 lines of thunderstorms moved through the Four State Region from west to east during the day. Strong low level shear in the atmosphere allowed some thunderstorms to rotate, producing tornadoes with damaging straight line winds producing downbursts.
Event Narrative The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Little River County Arkansas and concluded that the bulk of the storm damage was the result of a downburst and straight line winds. However���further investigation of the damage area southeast of Ashdown indicate damage from an EF1 tornado. The tornado touched down at around 8:10 AM, on the southeast side of Ashdown along Hwy 32. The tornado snapped and uprooted trees along CR 700 where a metal building with steel beam frame was completely destroyed. Tornado evidence is more conclusive east of this area where trees were uprooted and snapped along a convergent path. The tornado continued east south of hwy 32 snapping more trees and collapsing a carport. The tornado crossed CR 35 snapping a few trees before lifting. Maximum winds are estimated at 95-105 mph.
