On the 29th and 30th, a front was nearly stationary near the Arkansas/Missouri border. Thunderstorms built into the western part of Arkansas on the afternoon and evening of the 29th. During the early morning hours of the 30th, a cluster of thunderstorms approached Arkansas from the west. Although these storms died out, they left behind an area of low pressure aloft. This low pressure then caused the development of new storms during the afternoon and evening.
