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.

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.

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.
