The agency also confirmed Tuesday that an EF0 twister traversed an area about 3 miles west of Pencil Bluff in Montgomery County around 7:50 p.m. Friday.
"An additional survey will determine exact start/end times and locations," the weather service said.
Two EF2 tornadoes were spawned in storms Friday afternoon through Saturday morning in Arkansas, including one that left four people hurt in the Crawford County town of Mountainburg. The other EF2 tornado was near Montrose in Ashley County.
The weather service's North Little Rock office confirmed an additional eight EF1 twisters, including two near El Dorado in Union County and two near Crossett in Ashley County. Another EF0 tornado also was recorded.
