The episode as NWS LZK wrote it up.
A lifting warm front in conjunction with an approaching cold front from the northwest creating a recipe for convective severe weather as severe thunderstorms developed late in the evening of January 11th across central and northeast Arkansas leading to spotty wind damage and hail reports. However, transitioning into the early morning hours of the 12th, a line of storms swept across southern Arkansas producing damaging straight line winds.

Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with the strongest storms. A tornado or two could be seen. The best chances for seeing any strong to severe thunderstorms will be across the southwest two-thirds of the area...with an enhanced threat for severe weather across far southwest sections. Breezy southerly winds will also be seen this afternoon and tonight. Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph are expected...with gusts over 30 mph possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday The threat for seeing severe weather will decrease on Friday morning. However...much colder air will arrive Friday morning...which will cause rain to switch to snow across northwest and northern sections of the area. Snowfall accumulations of a dusting to around an inch will be possible...with locally higher amounts possible...especially in the higher terrain of the Ozarks. Some light snow will also be possible across the higher elevations of western Arkansas...but less moisture will be seen here. Breezy west and northwest winds will be seen on Friday as well. Expect sustained winds of 20 to over 30 mph...with gusts of 35 to over 40 mph possible. Some areas may see wind gusts approach 50 in the higher terrain. These winds combined with much colder air will cause wind chill values to drop into the single digits and teens on Friday...which should continue into early Saturday. The brunt of bitterly cold Arctic air will surge in from the northwest on Sunday with a prolonged period of sub- freezing temperatures likely through mid-week. Add in breezy northwest winds and conditions will be dangerous with the coldest conditions expected on Tuesday. Wind chill values as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero are likely over northwestern Arkansas on Tuesday morning with values between 0 and 10 below for the remainder of the state. Additionally, significant snowfall is expected during this time with snow beginning on Sunday and finally tapering off by Tuesday morning. Forecast adjustments are entirely possible if not likely, but at this time it appears that locations along and north of the I- 30/I-40 corridor could see upwards of 5 to 7 inches of accumulation with locally higher amounts. South of this, totals of 2 to 4 inches appear likely, tapering off to between 1 and 2 inches near the Arkansas/Louisiana state line. .Spotter Information Statement...
