An intense super cell thunderstorm is producing sporadic tornadoes as it moves across west-central Arkansas, officials with the National Weather Service office in North Little Rock said Sunday night.
The first tornado was reported just after 5 p.m. north of Russellville, weather service meteorolgist Jeff Hood said. He said that at about 6:40 p.m., the storm was near Mountain View in Stone County.
Hood said there were reports of trees down and damage to a few structures in Pope County.
A few isolated storms also may have produced weakened tornadoes in northeast Arkansas and west Arkansas earlier, he said.
