EF1 tornado in Marion County, Mississippi

This EF1 tornado started in western Marion County, near Bracey Road, and tracked southeast for just over 7 miles. The tornadic circulation was embedded in a swath of wind that tracked in a similar manner, but was much wider and had sporadic tree damage. Shortly after the tornadic circulation organized, it peaked in intensity and produced a focused corridor of solid tree damage. This was near the intersection of Circle Bar Road and Ratliff Road. From here, the tornado weakened a bit but continued to produce a more focused corridor of mostly tree damage. A few homes had trees on them with several sheds and carports having the roof taken off. The tornado basically stayed just on the north side of Highway 586. The tornado dissipated before crossing Highway 586 on the west side of Foxworth and all that remained was straight line wind damage. Max winds were 105 mph.

Showers and thunderstorms developed in association with a frontal system moving through the region. Some of these storms produced a few tornadoes, hail, and damaging wind gusts.
