What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
A intensifying supercell thunderstorm tracked across southern Madison County and produced a swath of golf ball to baseball sized hail. The very large hail impacted areas across Ridgeland and the City of Madison. The supercell and severe hail continued across the Reservoir into Rankin County.
The second supercell to effect Madison county moved out of the Bentonia area of Yazoo county. This storm continued to move south-southeast before it merged into another storm over the Madison/Ridgeland area. Between the Big Black River and the Cedar Hill Community, golf ball to baseball sized hail fell. As the storm approached Madison it weakened some and the hail was between penny and quarter size.
This supercell thunderstorm moved out of East-Central Yazoo county and moved across the entire central portion of Madison county. Along the path, a swath of nickel to ping pong ball sized hail occurred. At 505 PM, the storm moved into extreme Southwest Leake county and far Northwest Scott county.
