Seven tornadoes touched down in Arkansas on Sunday, the National Weather Service confirmed Tuesday.
The agency listed five tornadoes Monday, but two more were added to the list Tuesday after site investigations, said Marty Trexler, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Little Rock.
All seven tornadoes were categorized as EF0 or EF1.
The enhanced Fujita scale lists an EF0 tornado as having winds of between 65 and 85 mph, and an EF1 tornado as having winds of 86 to 110 mph. The scale ranks tornadoes on the basis of damage and wind speeds up to EF5, which has winds in excess of 200 mph.
The tornadoes added to the list Tuesday were: one near Crocketts Bluff in Arkansas County, and one between Moscow in Jefferson and Grady in Lincoln County. Both were category EF0, Trexler said.
The five tornadoes previously listed were: two EF0 tornadoes in Phillips County, near Marvell and Lexa; and three EF1 tornadoes: one about 8½ miles southwest of Waldron in Scott County, one at Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa on Lake Ouachita in Montgomery County, and one at Dermott in Chicot County.
