*Looks like Yazoo City, MS has significant weather damage again tonight; possibly due to a tornado that passed through within the hour. Here is the report from the Jackson, MS NWS:
JAN: Yazoo City [Yazoo Co, MS] amateur radio reports TORNADO at 08:10 PM CST — additional strucural damage reported in yazoo city with numerous large oak trees snapped and uprooted. power lines also reported down along center ridge road.
*Six tornado warnings are in effect for counties in Mississippi as I write this…
*The greatest severe weather threat for Alabama will come from around midnight through 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
*The best chance of tornadoes in Alabama initially will be generally along and south of U.S. 82, or south of a line from Gordo to Tuscaloosa to Montgomery. We can’t rule out the chance of a few isolated tornadoes in other parts of the state, however.
*The air remains cool and stable, over North and East Alabama, but the warm sector (where dewpoints are in the 60s) should surge northward during the night, and the squall line could produce damaging wind even in these parts of the state toward daybreak tomorrow.
We are recording WeatherBrains now… Dr. Tim Coleman will post an analysis shortly…
