Event narrative

Section of roof collapsed at Gautier Middle School. No observed damage to any surrounding trees or buildings in the area.

Wider weather episode

A surface low pressure developed over central Louisiana in response to a negatively tilted mid-level trough over northeast Texas. A warm front developed in association with the surface low and surged northward through southern Mississippi in the early afternoon. This left coastal Mississippi in the warm sector of the cyclone where modest instability and sufficient wind shear was present to produce damaging winds and tornadoes.
