Episode Narrative An area of low pressure developed over southeast Louisiana and moved east along a warm front which stretched across southeast Mississippi. This eventually caused a strong cold front to sweep through the region with numerous showers and thunderstorms. This storm system combined with cold temperatures aloft and triggered severe storms that produced quite a bit of hail along with some scattered reports of wind damage. Multiple reports of golf ball sized hail occurred with the largest hail size being tennis ball size. The most intense storm occurred over central sections of Mississippi, roughly across northeast Copiah County and northwest Simpson County. Here, a very intense downburst occurred with winds up to 110 mph which downed dozens of trees. Large hail was wind driven and many trees were stripped of there leaves. Outside of the severe storms, several storms moved over the same locations which resulted in heavy rainfall which led to some flash flooding generally within the I-20 corridor.
Event Narrative A swath of golf ball size hail moved into the county from Hinds County occurring from near Florence to Brandon. Hail covered the ground at some locations.
