Episode Narrative Abundant moisture and instability combined with a potent low pressure system and associated cold front. Storms developed ahead of the front and produced hail, tornadoes and damaging winds.
Event Narrative This weak tornado touched down just north of the Old Red Star community along Old Red Star Rd just to the south of the Copiah/Lincoln county line. A shed was damaged with the roof blown off and a few trees damaged. As the tornado tracked northeast, it crossed Watson Rd and damaged a couple trees. The heaviest damage occurred just west of Lott Smith Rd where dozens of pine trees were snapped and several hard woods were uprooted. A shed was damaged along with a small portion of a roof on a house. Another home had a larger section of the roof torn off. This area was rated EF1. The tornado continued northeast and lifted at Sylvarena Rd and Bayou Pierre. The maximum estimated winds were 100mph. The total track length was 5.4 miles and path width was 200 yards.
