The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.
A stalled front was located across Southern Missouri during the late evening hours of June 4th into the early morning hours of June 5th. Showers and thunderstorms developed across Southwest Missouri during the morning hours. The MCS gained momentum as it moved into a warm and unstable atmosphere south of the stalled front. The MCS produced a derecho across Northeast Arkansas into the West Tennessee during the afternoon hours. Widespread damaging winds and some flash flooding occurred with the derecho. Remnants of the MCS moved Northeast Mississippi during the late afternoon hours. One storm produced damaging winds.
