Episode Narrative A surface low tracked northeast across northern Mississippi and northwest Alabama Saturday afternoon and evening. An upper level disturbance moving out of the southwest United States providing ample lift and shear increased as the surface low deepened. The frontal system progressed slowly eastward, and this allowed for widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches.
Event Narrative National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in Sumter County and confirmed a weak tornado. The tornado touched down just west of Pretty Branch Road along the Norfolk Southern Railroad, about 0.5 miles east of Cuba. The tornado tracked northeast downing several large hardwoods and caused damage to the roof and anchoring system of a manufactured home as it crossed Pretty Branch Road and the railroad track. The tornado moved parallel to the railroad track downing approximately one dozen trees. The tornado lifted just west of Old Livingston Road.
