National Weather Service Jackson still worried about the storm near Caledonia and maintains a tornado warning on it.

It will be passing into southern Lamar County immediately and will pass near Vernon, Sulligent and Beaverton. A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect in Alabama awaiting its arrival. That looks sufficient given radar data recently. Looks like a damaging wind producer. Can’t rule out tornado.

Be in safe shelter before it arrives.

New flash flood warning for Lowndes, Noxubee, Oktibbeha and winston Counties in eastern Mississippi. This includes the area around Columbus.
