Episode Narrative A severe weather event containing large hail, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding slowly evolved on February 27 and lasted into the early morning hours of the 28th. All the active weather remained focused across the northern portion of the forecast area. This region saw multiple rounds of storms along with several episodes of severe weather. The majority of the severe storms occurred between 6 and 10 am, then again between noon and 3 pm. Due to the slow evolution of the system and repetitive nature of many storms, locally heavy rainfall occurred with many reports of flash flooding. The heaviest rains fell along and north of a line from Grenada to Starkville to Columbus Mississippi. Here rainfall totals ranged from 5 to 8 inches. Between 4 and 6 am, on February 28, the rainfall finally shifted out of the area.
Event Narrative An isolated severe storm produced penny to nickel sized hail along a swath just to the north and northeast of the Zama Community.
