...HIGH WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH MOVING THROUGH        
   PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AS THE RAINS END...

THE BACK EDGE OF A LARGE RAIN SHIELD FROM CARTHAGE TO PELAHATCHIE TO 
MENDENHALL WAS MOVING EAST AND WAS ASSOCIATED WITH VERY STRONG WINDS 
THAT COULD GUST TO BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH THROUGH 1130 PM. THESE 
WINDS APPEAR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRINGES OF A COMPLEX OF 
STORMS IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND THE ATMOSPHERIC WIND FLOW AROUND 
THOSE STORMS.

HIGH WINDS OF 60 TO 65 MPH HAVE BEEN DETECTED BY DOPPLER RADAR 
ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF RANKIN COUNTY JUST OFF THE SURFACE 
BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 FEET. SOME OF THESE WINDS WERE MIXING TO THE 
GROUND AS THE RAINS ENDED AND MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE INCLUDING  
TREES BEING KNOCKED DOWN. TREES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DOWNED ALREADY 
WITH THESE WINDS.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE
DRIVING A HIGH PROFILE VEHICLE. MOTORISTS SHOULD USE EXTREME CAUTION.
PEOPLE AT HOME SHOULD SECURE ANY LOOSE OUTDOOR ITEMS SUCH AS GARBAGE
CANS AND LAWN FURNITURE. STAY ALERT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF FALLING
TREE LIMBS AND DOWNED POWER LINES.
