Tornado warning for storm in Chicot County in southeastern Arkansas…heading directly for Greenville, MS. Shows very large hail, perhaps to golfball size.
Widespread flash flooding in Starkville, MS.
The tornadic potential will be increasing according to the Storm Prediction Center folks across Central Mississippi into Sumter County in West Alabama and a new tornado watch may be required soon. A bit of a cap over southern Mississippi into West Central Alabama has prevented thunderstorm development south of the boundary. The airmass here is becoming more unstable and increasingly favorable wind fields will produce the threat of rotating storms and tornadoes through the afternoon hours.
This activity will lift into Central Alabama later.
