New Tornado Watch

* NWS has issued a Tornado Watch for almost all of our area...The new watch replaces the old one, and runs until 2:00 AM. Here are the counties in our viewing area that are part of the new watch:

MISSISSIPPI
Leake
Neshoba
Kemper
Scott
Newton
Lauderdale
Smith
Jasper
Clarke
Jones
Wayne

ALABAMA
Sumter
Greene
Hale
Marengo
Choctaw
Clarke

* REMINDER: A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. The ingredients are there.

A Tornado WARNING means that a tornado has been either sighted or indicated on radar. If your county goes under a tornado warning, you should go to the lowest floor of your home. A basement works best; if you don't have one, go to an interior bathroom, hallway, or closet on your lowest floor.
