Warm, moist air was in place across central Mississippi during the afternoon and evening of November 26th. As a strong cold front neared the region, supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of the front. These storms tapped into plenty of wind shear in place across the region and this resulted in some wind damage.

The tornado reached peak intensity of EF2 with 120 mph winds as it moved into Star crossing Estrella Heights, Mangum Dr and Hwy 49. Here, a large swath of both hard-and softwood trees received considerable damage with many trees snapped at the trunk and numerous uprooted. Several homes sustained roof damage with the collapse of at least one exterior wall on a second floor. Several outbuildings were completely destroyed, including one that had anchor bolts removed from the concrete foundation.
