What was reported inside it

TimeReportWhereRemark
May 20, 11:02 PM CDTTSTM WND DMG4 W Ragland, ALSeveral trees and tree limbs down on CR 26 west of Ragland. Much of Ragland without power.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

Right now a small area of showers and thunderstorms is moving
through the northern third of the area this evening. We are seeing
some additional activity developing in central MS and sliding
northeastward as well. Around midnight we may see both areas begin
to fill in and form a descent line as it moves southward. The
storms that have develop have been troublesome at times, so would
expect it to continue through the next few hours. PoPs are updated

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 1245 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2025

Very little change with this long term forecast update. We remain
dry and slightly cooler in the wake of a cold front. Our "coolest"
day looks to be Friday with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s for
those across our northern counties. Our unsettled pattern returns
over the weekend as a series of upper level waves move through the
region. This will bring low to moderate chances for showers and
storms through the holiday weekend and into next week.
