Tornado warning in Lauderdale and Newton Counties yet again

#1 Postby WXBUFFJIM » Thu Feb 05, 2004 5:10 pm

The national weather service in Jackson, Mississippi has issued a tornado warning for eastern Newton and Lauderdale Counties in east central Mississippi effective until 4:55 PM CST.

At 3:54 PM CST, doppler radar indicated a tornadic thunderstorm 3 miles west of I 20 at exit 121 or about 10 miles east of Newton moving east at 45 mph. Okatibee will be in the path of this storm at 4:15 PM CST. While this storm currently doesn't have a confirmed tornado, a storm earlier did produce a confirmed tornado near Newton, Mississppi.

This tornado we're seeing now in Newton and Lauderdale Counties maybe wrapped in rain. Do not wait to see or hear it coming. It maybe too late. Seek shelter immediately in newton and Lauderdale Counties in Mississippi and in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana where a tornado warning remains in effect until 4:15 PM CST.

A tornado watch is in effect until 5 PM CST for this warned area. Severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes with little or no advances warning.
