episode_narrativeSummary of events for November 22 1999:A surge of warm, moist and unstable air ahead of a cold front and a strengthening frontal wave fired off numerous thunderstorms well east of I-35 late in the afternoon, gradually shifting east to near the Arkansas and Missouri state lines by late evening. Many of the first thunderstorms of the day took on supercell characteristics, some of which produced tornadoes and very large hail. Due to the slow movement of the line of storms, many places saw from one to three inches of rain, but dry preceding conditions kept flooding to a minimum. Around 7 to 8 PM, the line of storms became more solid with four to five bow echoes forming, producing strong winds and marginally severe hail. The storms had all weakened below severe limits by midnight.
