A line of strong to severe thunderstorms extended from Northern Indiana down across Southern Illinois into Southeast Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. Considerable lightning.
The thunderstorms were along a strong cold front that continues to push toward the southeast.
At 7 pm, the front was near Little Rock. While it was a balmy 69 degrees in Little Rock at 7 it was 33 in Northwest Arkansas at Fayetteville with a wind chill of 23.
In Fayetteville this afternoon there was a record high of 76. So their temperature has plunged 43 degrees already.
A Tornado Watch continues until very late tonight (1 am, CST) for parts of West Kentucky, Extreme West Tennessee, East Arkansas and Extreme Northwest Mississippi including the Memphis area.
Ironically, a Winter Storm Watch is in effect for some of those same areas.
There were no showers in Alabama as of 7:25 pm.
