so, more
severe weather followed on the 22nd. |

of a warm front during the evening of 05/22/2008. |
| A warm front pushed into Arkansas from the south, with
showers and thunderstorms building near the front during the late
afternoon and evening hours. |
| Scattered storms produced large hail and damaging winds
across central and southern sections of the state. |

thunderstorms building from southern into central Arkansas from 551 pm CDT
to 716 pm CDT on 05/22/2008. |

The front pushed north of the region for the
Memorial Day weekend, with a ridge of high pressure providing above normal temperatures. |
