Ham radio operators are reporting a possible tornado touchdown near the Brookhaven, Mississippi airport...just NE of the city..

All power reported out and calls to 9-1-1 of homes damaged....also reports of funnel clouds in the Brookhaven area....and north of Brookhaven along I-55..

The one in Lincoln Co is the one on the ground and still got the warning tag

[Stormsfury]

The upper low and surface low now are starting to work in tandem ...

This is going to be a long 36 hr time period ...

Pretty wild considering 24 hours ago the mets didnt think this would be dragging along the coast and refiring as it goes. There's a ton of fireworks going off on those radars down south...I hope they watch closely.

I just looked at the RUC update on the 850mb winds/WAA and 500mb heights ... quite a bit of backing of the low level wind field in Mississippi ...

Also on satellite pictures, a gravity wave signature may be punching thru extreme SE ARK and West Central Mississippi.

I bet alot of that vertical shearing has plenty to do with those gravity waves....even though I'm no expert, but there's tremendous energies being fed overnight in the south

[Rob-TheStormChaser]

Looks like that tornado warning just let up.

[Stormsfury]

There is a lot of energy from the south! ....
That energy moving over the stable layer displaces that layer and causes the oscillation, like waves ... almost should call them buoyancy waves ... and the a rapid couplet of fall/rises over a localized area will appear....interesting to see if surface obs. verify this or it's staying above the surface and translating into a premature dryslot (ending precip even quicker than expected)
