Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.

What happened

The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.

A mesoscale convective complex developed over Southwest Missouri during the early morning hours of June 13th, 2011. The remnants of the complex moved into the Mid-South during the late morning into the afternoon hours. Additional thunderstorms developed along old outflow boundaries of the complex. Some of these thunderstorms became severe and produced large hail and damaging winds.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 11:26 AM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.

DISCUSSION...

A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS
MORNING. THE AIRMASS INVOF THE BOUNDARY IS QUITE UNSTABLE WITH
THE 12Z KLZK SOUNDING INDICATING NEARLY 4300 J/KG OF CAPE.
MEANWHILE A MCS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP IN NW FLOW ALOFT OVER
MISSOURI. THIS MCS WILL DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON. 12Z NAM SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. STRONG
INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 30-40 KTS
WILL PROMOTE SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.
HAVE INCREASED POPS TO REFLECT GROWING CONFIDENCE IN STORMS
IMPACTING THE MIDSOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. UPDATE ALREADY OUT.

SJM

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 419 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011/

SKIES WERE GENERALLY CLEAR ACROSS MOST OF THE MIDSOUTH ALLOWING
TEMPS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S AT THE MOMENT. WINDS
WERE GENERALLY LIGHT AND EASTERLY. ELSEWHERE AN MCS CONTINUES TO
MOVE TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND
INTO EXTREME NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

AS FOR THE MIDSOUTH...SHORT RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
SUBSTANTIAL INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SURFACE DISTURBANCE OVER
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. GIVEN LLJ ENHANCEMENT AND EROSION OFF
CAPPING INVERSION SOME CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED.
THEREFORE KEPT CHANCE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH AS
ANY DEVELOPING MCS COULD MAKE ITS WAY TO THE SOUTHEAST. CONDITIONS
ARE FAVORABLE FOR SOME OF THE ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
IN THIS CLUSTER TO BE SEVERE WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. OTHERWISE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FURTHER
INTO THE DAY AS ANY LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM SAID MCS
COULD HELP TO ENHANCE CONVECTION ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH LATER IN THE
DAY. ESPECIALLY ALONG WAVERING WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT IS
EXPECTED TO SURGE NORTHWARD INTO THE MIDSOUTH TODAY AND THEN
RETREAT BACK TO THE SOUTH THIS EVENING...ONLY TO RETURN AGAIN ON
TUESDAY. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE AREA ON TUESDAY AS BEFORE MENTIONED WARM FRONT MAKES ITS SURGE
TO THE NORTH ONCE AGAIN. SUBSTANTIAL INSTABILITY AND BOUNDARY
INTERACTION WILL PROMOTE SLIGHT CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. ONCE AGAIN SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREATS. OTHERWISE
TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE LOWER TO
MID 90S DURING THE DAY AND THE MID TO UPPER 70S DURING THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS.

WEDNESDAY THRU THURSDAY...HIGH RESOLUTION NAM12 AND THE LATEST
ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE AN 850MB AND SURFACE LOW OVER
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS BY 12Z WEDNESDAY.
INTRODUCED 30 POPS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH
FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN SPREAD THEM FURTHER SOUTHEAST
FOLLOWING SURFACE LOW TRACK FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL HAVE MADE ITS WAY ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND INTO WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI. AS THE COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY EASTWARD...SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. SOME OF THESE STORMS
COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT
ON THURSDAY YIELDING PREDOMINATE NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH. THIS NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP HIGHS ON THURSDAY IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S ACROSS MOST OF THE MIDSOUTH.

FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY...THE ABOVE MENTIONED RIDGE WILL PUSH OFF TO
THE EAST ON FRIDAY ALLOWING FOR THE RETURN OF SOUTHERLY FLOW.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S FOR DAILY HIGHS
FOR THIS PERIOD. KEPT CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST DURING EACH DAY
DUE TO STRONG DAYTIME HEATING INDUCED INSTABILITIES.
