What the National Weather Service wrote

This landspout began southeast of Lonoke near Merlin Morris Road. The tornado tracked northwest across mainly open fields to near Miller Road before dissipating. The landspout was well documented by multiple videos from different perspectives, however damage was not extensive enough for a rating. This tornado was rated EFU.

The wider storm

A lifting warm front across Arkansas in cohesion with a subtle, but impactful upper level shortwave trough would lead to multiple reports of severe wind, severe hail, and Flash Flooding across central Arkansas. Additionally, a landspout tornado would occur along the convergence of two outflow boundaries in rural central Arkansas.

Began near Mccreanor (34.7307, -91.7778).
