Severe Storms Over Central Mississippi

Showers and storms continue to push eastward across Mississippi tonight. They are severe from the Grenada area south southwestward to Belzoni then into eastern Louisiana, approaching the River around Vicksburg and Port Gibson.

SOME WIND REPORTS
…Many reports of trees down in Louisiana, including in the parishes along I-20, and around Jonesboro and in Natchioches.
…Numerous trees down across Chicot CO in Arkansas.
…Several power outages across the Delta region of western Mississippi, including around Bolivar, Indianola and Inverness.

The storms are most intense around Holmes County in Central Mississippi, which is south of Greenwood. Damaging winds are likely, and an isolated spin up tornado can’t be ruled out. Severe severe thunderstomr warnings have been laid out ahead of the storms.

There is still a severe thunderstorm watch for Central Mississippi. The tornado watch has expired.

These storms are about 2.5-3 hours away from the Alabama border. It will be interesting to see if they hold together enough to have any intensity when they reach the state line.
