Storm survey revealed a brief weak tornado occurred mainly over open fields west of the intersection of AR State Hwy 37 and I-57/US-67, with some power poles bent just west of the interstate. No evidence was observed of damage crossing I-57/US-67 nearby. This tornado was rated EF0, with maximum estimated winds of 80 mph, and approximately 50 yds wide.

Written by NWS LZK in the NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit. A survey is revised as better evidence arrives.

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.

NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit, the record the survey teams file from the damage, and NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports. Neither is the official database for 2026, which SPC publishes in the spring of 2027.
