EF0 tornado in Jackson County, Mississippi

An EF-0 tornado touched down and moved between Three Rivers and Big Point, MS causing minor and patchy tree damage along its 3 mile path. High snaps, large broken branches, and a few small uprooted trees were noted along Pipeline Road. A tornado debris signature appeared on KMOB shortly after this damage and it's likely the tornado was its strongest right after formation. Additional patchy damage to tree tops was noted on high resolution satellite imagery to the northeast, but only tree debris and small branches were identified as the tornado weakened and dissipated near Park Ridge Drive.

On the afternoon and evening of April 6th, a cold front tied to a low pressure system over the Tennessee Valley swept through the region, triggering a broken quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) in an environment of unstable air and modest wind shear. The QLCS reached peak strength as it moved into coastal Mississippi, where it produced additional wind damage and a brief tornado before exiting into Alabama.
