The National Weather Service in Tulsa has ruled out the possibility of a tornado near Chaffee Crossing and Fort Chaffee earlier today.
The damage was evaluated and scrutinized over the last two days; moreover, the survey team couldn't find conclusive evidence to say a tornado hit.
The NWS said the damage was caused by a microburst, gustnado, or a combination of both. The damage was spread out in a way where straight line winds were to blame.
The thought was a microburst pushed the damaging winds to over 80 mph to the surface causing the damage. Low-level shear showed up on radar, but it was probably the radar sensing the developing microburst.
It's possible that the microburst created a gustnado that could have circulated near the ground. Remember a gustnado doesn't connect to the cloud base, so low level turbulence was a real possibility as the downburst occurred.
