The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Warm, moist air was in place across central Mississippi during the afternoon and evening of November 26th. As a strong cold front neared the region, supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of the front. These storms tapped into plenty of wind shear in place across the region and this resulted in some wind damage.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 26, 9:03 PM CST, 25 minutes earlier.

3 thunderstorm wind, 3 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
A tree was blown down on Culkin Road and blocked one lane of traffic.
A tree was blown down on Dennis Cross Roads Road.
This tornado started in a wooded area just east of Hwy 469 and just north of the Rankin/Simpson County line. It tracked northeast crossing Henry Byrd Rd where several large tree limbs were snapped. The tornado strengthened to EF1 as it crossed Ainsworth Rd twice. Several hard- and softwood trees were uprooted at this location. The tornado further strengthened to a high end EF1 as it crossed Shady Hill Dr uprooting numerous softwood trees and snapping even more large tree limbs. High end EF1 damage continued along Rockwood Rd where more hardwood and softwood trees were uprooted. In addition, a home sustained structural damage when a garage door failed allowing winds into the garage blowing out two windows and knocking down a poorly secured exterior brick facade. The tornado reached peak intensity of EF2 with 120 mph winds as it moved into Star crossing Estrella Heights, Mangum Dr and Hwy 49. Here, a large swath of both hard-and softwood trees received considerable damage with many trees snapped at the trunk and numerous uprooted. Several homes sustained roof damage with the collapse of at least one exterior wall on a second floor. Several outbuildings were completely destroyed, including one that had anchor bolts removed from the concrete foundation. After crossing Hwy 49, the tornado moved through a heavily wooded area northeast of Star. It crossed Henry Cannon Rd where low end EF2 damage continued with a swath of softwood trees snapped and uprooted. The tornado quickly weakened by the time it crossed Clara Foote Rd where low end EF1 tree damage was noted. The tornado finally dissipated in a wooded area northeast of Clara Foote Rd before reaching Wade Patrick Rd. Maximum winds were 120 mph.
This tornado started just east of Johns on the north side of Johns-Mayton Rd where several large tree limbs were snapped. The tornado tracked northeast and reached peak intensity of EF1 with 95 mph winds as it crossed Hwy 43. Here, several hardwood and softwood trees were uprooted with numerous large limbs snapped. The tornado continued northeast through a wooded area before crossing Woodrow Martin Rd where a few large limbs were also snapped. The tornado crossed into Smith County causing minor tree damage, crossing SCR-142 and Hwy 13 before ending at SCR-131 and SCR 135. Maximum winds were 95 mph, total path length was 7.26 miles.
