EF0 tornado in Madison County, Mississippi

An EF-0 tornado began near Stump Bridge Road, moved east across Sharon Rd. at John Powell Rd., and lifted before reaching Dry Creek Rd. Along its path multiple trees were uprooted, and some smaller trees and large limbs were snapped. One home sustained minor damage to its metal roof, and an antenna was damaged. Estimated max wind speeds with this tornado were 80 mph.

An upper-level shortwave trough moving east through the Central Plains initiated a few clusters of thunderstorms that spread into Mississippi during the morning of June 18th. With an unstable air mass and strong jet stream over the region, these storms became severe and produced hail and damaging wind through the morning. An additional round of severe storms developed during the evening of the 18th and into the morning of the 19th. This even resulted in a rare June tornado outbreak. The previous record for number of June tornadoes in the state of Mississippi was 7 in 1974. A total of 15 tornadoes occurred across the state from June 18-19, 2023 - making this event a record in its own right. The tornado which occurred near Louin, MS was the first F3 or EF-3 rated tornado in the state since 1957.
