Episode Narrative | Strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon hours of the 27th along and ahead of a cold front that was moving into eastern Oklahoma. Very unstable air over the area ahead of the front, combined with strong deep-layer wind shear, resulted in widespread severe weather to develop. A tornado and damaging wind gusts occurred with the strongest storms as they moved across northwestern Arkansas. |
Event Narrative | This is the second segment of a two segment tornado. In Crawford County, this tornado destroyed the roof of a mobile home, damaged outbuildings, and uprooted trees near the state line. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted as it moved across Highway 59 and Arkansas 220, finally dissipating after crossing White Water Road, east-southeast of Natural Dam. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in this segment of the tornado was 95 to 105 mph. |
