A tornado warning is in effect for the Meridian area.

A wall cloud has been reported with the storm.

Our skywatcher in Livingston is monitoring TV station WTOK and reports that the on air personnel left the studio for the basement.

They are calling it a tornado emergency…

This storm will move toward Sumter County.

LATE REPORT FROM PICKENS COUNTY
Skywatcher from Pickens County High School reports definite wall cloud toward Ethelsville/Coalfire.

No warnings for Pickens or Lamar at this time.

The dewpoints are high, which lead to high storm bases, and the NWS Birmingham does not feel warnings are justified.

Still, the storms are nothing to mess with.
