These storms intensified in the vicinity of a warm front that become quasi-stationary across the area (surface analyses<\/strong><\/a>). Following a storm damage survey (NWS Little Rock PNS<\/strong><\/a>), it was determined that damage at the reported tornado locations was caused by straight-line winds and wind-driven large hail.

Around the time of the first tornado\/wind damage report (below)<\/strong><\/em>, an area of warmer cloud-top infrared brightness temperatures (shades of orange) began to appear immediately downwind (southeast) of the cold overshooting top (cluster of black pixels) — suggesting the presence of an Above-Anvil Cirrus Plume (reference<\/strong><\/a> | VISIT training<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n
