Late on the evening of Friday, April 24th into the early morning hours of Saturday, April 25th, a complex of severe thunderstorms pushed eastward across central Mississippi. These storms were produced by a shortwave trough pushing across the Mid South region and were sustained by strong deep layer wind shear. Damaging straight-line wind gusts and a few weak tornadoes occurred along the path of the storms. Several trees and power poles/lines were downed, some onto structures. Notably, an 83 mph wind gust was measured near Onward in Sharkey County. Tornadoes were confirmed in Madison, Neshoba, Kemper and Leake counties. A few areas in the ArkLaMiss Delta also received very heavy rain producing flash flooding.
