| Episode Narrative | A warm front lifted north across the Mid-South during the morning hours of March 27th. Numerous thunderstorms resulted in heavy rain near the Tennessee/Mississippi line and some flash flooding along with an isolated damaging wind report. The front continued to lift north during the morning along with the complex of showers of thunderstorms. After a brief break during the early afternoon, thunderstorms started to redevelop in the moist and unstable airmass across east-central Arkansas, Southwest Tennessee, and Northeast Mississippi. Initially, storms developed in clusters with large hail, several weak tornadoes, and flash flooding from eastern Arkansas to the Tennesee River in West Tennessee. The clusters of storms gradually transitioned into a line with mainly damaging winds stretching from the Tennessee/Mississippi line into Northeast Mississisppi from the evening of March 27th into the early morning hours of March 28th. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado developed near the Chester/Henderson County line. The first observed damage was uprooted trees along Mifflin Road. The tornado moved east, and crossed Boss Wadley Road. Trees were uprooted, and some trunks were snapped in this area. The most significant damage occurred near Highway 22A and Middlefork Road. A home lost part of its roof, several storage buildings were damaged or destroyed, and a tree fell on another home damaging its roof. Last observed damage occurred east of Highway 22A. This tornado was broad and relatively disorganized for much of its lifetime. Peak winds were estimated at 100 mph. |
