I have a feeling tomorrow they will find a whole lot more tornadoes that they don't know of tonight.

Hook Echo passed right over Pine Bluff, hopefully everything is ok there.

Cell near Warren looks very impressive right now as well, looks like it has exploded in a big way in the last 15 mins.

Yeah, strong rotation went directly over the downtown area of Pine Bluff. If they didn't have a tornado touchdown, they were very, very fortunate.

Conway PD reporting rotation on the cell there.

Also, looks like a possible hook echo showing on cell NE of El Dorado...

Hook seems to have strengthened again to the NE of Pine Bluff, hopefuly it fades again before it comes close to Stuttgart.

Also I agree, that is a hook on the storm near El Dorado.

Supercell S of Star City, AR continues to intensify having an impressive hail core indicative of some very strong updrafts. Helicity in the RUC is forecasted to increase to 300-400 as the low level jet strengthens. Continue to watch this storm as it tracks to the NE. It has the potential to produce a strong to violent tornado at any time.

User on ustream (KARK stream) said her husband is a cop for Conway and that a tornado is on the ground?

Another in Cabot said a wall cloud just passed over their house (a few minutes ago)

It looks very good right now, I'm thinking your right about that one being the one to watch, it really stands out on the radar at the moment.

Currently some friends of mine are on the Des Arc system, will report if anything comes through on the stream.
