This four panel radar image from the Columbus radar shows the intense storm in NE Mississippi that will be moving into Franklin and Marion Counties shortly.

A hail core with the potential to produce one inch hail will move generally along the Franklin/Marion County line in the general direction of Hackleburg.

There is a small amount of low level helicity (<150 m2/s2), so we can’t rule out a tornado, but the main threat will be damaging winds.
