The remnants of Hurricane Isaac brought numerous thunderstorms with isolated tornadoes. A southwesterly low level jet around 40 knots persisted along the southeastern flank of the circulation from Isaac. The stronger low level winds were co-located with an axis of moderate instability, where mixed-layer capes ranged from 1500 to 2000 j/kg. Within this region, a few discrete supercells developed along low level convergence bands from northeastern Arkansas to southeast Missouri.
