A large supercell thunderstorm moved out of northern Walthall county and tracked across the southern portion of Lawrence county. This storm produced a swath of golf ball to baseball sized hail as it moved NE into West-Central Jefferson Davis county.
A couple of severe storms were quickly developing across northern Lawrence County during this time and quarter to walnut sized hail fell from near the Oma area to just south of New Hebron. These storms merged into one main supercell thunderstorm just as the complex entered Jefferson Davis County.
