The wider storm

A cold front stalled across southern Mississippi by the early morning hours on March 4th. With strong wind shear and an unstable atmosphere in place along the boundary, a few rounds of severe thunderstorms developed and moved across central and southern portions of Mississippi through the morning. These storms produced significant wind and hail including a swath of 90 mph wind and wind-driven hail damage to trees and structures that extended from Yazoo County to Newton County. There was also one EF-0 tornado which developed in Jefferson Davis County and moved into Covington County.

Began near Fitler (32.7220, -91.0150).
