What the National Weather Service wrote

This tornado was caught on video and sent to local media, who forwarded this video to NWS meteorologists. The time stamps come from the video and the location is estimated based on radar and the video. The tornado began just north of Jarvis Drive tracking over a field with limited vegetation and only a couple of farm buildings. Due to no damage reported and lack of vegetation along with no structures being hit, the tornado has been rated EF-unknown (EF-U). The tornado lifted just before crossing Highway 71.

The wider storm

A stationary front began retreating back northward as a warm front and led to a few brief tornadoes forming along this boundary that occurred in remote areas of west-central Arkansas and were extremely weak in intensity.
