That cell defiantly looks tornadic, and it has a warning so im pretty sure there is at least a funnel.

My guess for the 0100Z update: upgrade to 45% tornado, 60% wind - HIGH extended northeast

Are there any good guesses towards when this should let up (preferably with explanation)?

Don't know if any of you guys track the Spotter Network, but I just had a report come across from one of the chasers in Conway County. Stated "Significant tornado with several homes badly damaged".
