Supercell thunderstorms could produce multiple long-lived EF3 or stronger tornadoes today in the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys. Tornadoes, destructive straight-line winds and damaging hail will also impact a much larger area of the Midwest and South.

A Tornado Warning has been issued for the Mississippi counties of Benton, Marshall and Tate until 5:00pm. A tornado has been spotted or detected on weather radar. Seek shelter on the lowest level of a building in an interior room away from windows. If in a mobile home, find a more substantial shelter.

Amid a high-end tornado outbreak, the first one hit the area around 1:39 p.m. central time. Then at 2:20 p.m., an EF2 tornado hit the same spot.
