We continue to watch a storm showing some sign of rotation over East Mississippi, about 25 miles south of Columbus. Despite a good looking “hook echo”, but the velocity images are less than impressive. NWS Jackson continues a tornado warning for Lowndes County, Mississippi.
This storm will move up into the northwest corner of Pickens County, and southern Lamar county within the next 15 minutes.
Environmental conditions at first glance remain rather unfavorable for severe storms in North Alabama this afternoon with relatively low dewpoints and limited surface based CAPE values. No reports of damage with the Lowndes County, Mississippi storm so far. Most of the damage in Mississippi has been along the squall line to the west, with many trees and power lines down.
A short discussion is coming up shortly…
