Episode Narrative The combination of a strong upper level disturbance, rich gulf moisture, and good instability helped to develop a strong squall line that moved north out of southeast Louisiana causing scattered hail and thunderstorm wind damage across portions of central Mississippi. The thunderstorm wind damage was mainly in the form of blown down power lines and trees as well as some spotty damage to structures. Hail sizes ranged from a quarter to golf ball size.

Another squall line impacted the region on the 3rd causing additional thunderstorm wind damage to portions of central Mississippi. Lightning also stuck a house in Jones County starting a fire.
Event Narrative A swath of thunderstorm wind damage occurred from west of Brandon to near Pisgah. Siding was damaged on a couple of houses in the Sunchase subdivision in Brandon. A couple of trees were blown down along Mississippi Highway 468 near Mississippi Highway 18. Roof damage occurred to a building at the Jackson Air National Guard base. A large tree was blown down in the Crossgates community of Brandon. Roofs were blown off of baseball dugouts at Pisgah High School. A shed was destroyed and limbs were blown down in Pisgah. Minor roof damage occurred to a Shell station at the intersection of Highway 25 and Holly Bush Road south of Fannin.
