ORIGINAL POST
Those showers over Lowndes County Mississippi and Lamar County Alabama did grow upscale into some healthy thunderstorms over the past hour.

Two cores: one near Fayette and another just southeast of Winfield.

Lots of lightning and gusty winds with them. Can’t rule out some small hail too, but they are not severe and are not expected to be.

They are approaching Carbon Hill in Northwest Walker County and will be crossing I-22.

They will move toward Nauvoo in Walker County and into Winston County, passing near Arley.

Other heavy showers over eastern Marion and western Winston Counties may produce some lightning as well.

In Mississippi, the storms in front of the cold front extend from 20 miles west of West Point to west of Starkville to about 40 miles west of Philadelphia MS. The strongest storms are near Ackerman and passing south of Kosciusko MS.

Storms near Jackson are capable of producing nickle sized hail according to the NWS.

This activity will approach Pickens and southern Lamar Counties about 1130 p.m. Sumter county will see approaching storms between midnight and 1 a.m.

Storms should continue to weaken as we move into the early morning hours and severe weather is not expected.
