Ten people died in Faulkner County, three people died in Pulaski County and one person died in White County, the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management said on Monday afternoon. The death toll may rise as search-and-rescue operations continue.
A tornado that touched down in Quapaw, Okla., Sunday evening killed one person, according to the Associated Press.
The tornado that touched down in the small northeastern Oklahoma town is one of several reported throughout the central U.S. Sunday evening.
The same storm clobbered Baxter Springs, Kan., where one person was injured. As many as 100 homes and businesses were destroyed, Kansas officials said.
"Today, the focus of volatile weather will be shifting to the north and east, having more of an impact on the Tennessee and lower Mississippi valleys," AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Carl Babinski said.
An 11-month-old boy died Sunday after suffering injuries from a tornado that struck Chowan County, N.C., on Friday, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said.
More than 325 homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed by the storms in Beaufort, Perquimans, Chowan, Pasquotank and Greene counties, the governor said.
Beaufort County took the brunt of the damage with 197 structures either destroyed or damaged, primarily in the Chocowinity and Whichards Beach area. Four historic structures were damaged in Edenton.
