EF1 tornado in Tippah County, Mississippi

A tornado touched down about a quarter mile west of County Road 253 in East Central Tippah County and tracked northeast. The tornado lifted between County Road 254 and the Tippah/Alcorn County line. One home and two mobile homes sustained minor damage. A portion of a mobile home roof and awning was ripped off. Several trees were either snapped or uprooted. A few telephone poles were also snapped off.

A stationary front remained draped across Southern Missouri into Western Kentucky from April 24th, 2011 into April 25th, 2011. A very warm and unstable atmosphere was in place across the Mid-South ahead of the front. A low pressure system developed along the front and interacted with the unstable environment which helped produce several rounds of severe storms into the evening of April 26th, 2011. As a result of the severe storms, the front sank south during the early morning hours of April 27th, 2011 as a secondary low pressure system developed along the front. As a result, another round of severe storms fired during the afternoon hours ahead of the low pressure center. Additional severe storms fired along the trailing cold front. Tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding occurred as a result of the severe storms.
