The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
As a low pressure system moved from the High Plains toward the Great Lakes on November 29th, a warm front lifted north from the Gulf Coast. Strong wind shear interacted with the increasingly unstable environment across Mississippi, and widespread strong to severe thunderstorms developed through the day and into the evening. This severe weather episode was marked by many supercell thunderstorms which were observed on radar and by storm chasers in the region. Large hail fell mainly in areas through the Delta Region, but damaging wind gusts and tornadoes were common through much of the central and southern portions of the state. The strongest tornadoes were rated EF-2.
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 29, 1:22 PM CST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 122 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 121 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022 Rest of today-tonight: This morning the potential for significant severe weather event remains across the region. Morning sfc analysis indicates strong WAA & moisture return have quickly recovered with temperatures in the low 70s N to mid-upper 70s S with dewpoints in the upper 60s-low 70s, especially in S MS. This has led to strong WAA with intense LLJ around 40-45kts at 850mb. Combined with anomalous warmth & destabilization around 1000-1500 MLCAPE, per SHV & JAN 18Z soundings, will continue to favor significant severe weather event. Some thermo values haven't been seen per SPC sounding climatology & SPC mesoanalysis indicates long clockwise curved hodographs with +300-400 m2/s2 effective SRH & mean layer bulk shear around 30-45kts in the 0-1km/0-3km & 50-60kts in the 0-6km layer. In addition, very steep lapse rates approaching 7.0 C/km in the 700-500mb layer will support more intense hail. This will continue to support all modes of significant severe weather, including tornadoes, some strong & long track, damaging winds up to 80mph & large hail of tennis ball size. Highest threat looks to be along & NW of the Natchez Trace corridor into Hwy 45 corridor. Some storms have developed earlier in S LA & are progged to continue to the NE. In SE MS could have better mid-level capping & 700mb heights around which could suppress some convection into the Pine Belt. After collaboration with SPC, the "Moderate" & "Enhanced" risk areas remain mostly the same, but were slightly expanded to the E to the MS/AL state line. In addition, a tornado watch has been issued for a large portion along & NW of the Natchez Trace corridor through 7PM. Timing for the most significant severe weather looks to be in the 4PM to midnight timeframe, with some lingering after midnight through 4A. Increased confidence remains of around 9PM- midnight in the NW Delta, the I-55 corridor around 1AM-3AM & most potential moved out by 4AM-6AM into E-SE MS, especially the I-59 corridor. In addition to this, a "Flash Flood Watch" has been hoisted for a portion of Southeast Mississippi from 15Z today through 12Z Wednesday. Here, 2-3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, are possible. A good portion of this area has already observed 3-5 inches of rain over the past week. With these forecasted rainfall totals through early Wednesday morning, it could easily result in some flash flooding across the area, especially is multiple storms move across the same areas. Some localized flash flooding potential remains today. Kept the graphic as is, but confidence has increased some areas along & NW of the Natchez Trace, especially N of the I-20 corridor could see some additional training of supercells & more vigorous convection. For now, kept the ongoing Flash Flood Watch in SE MS & no changes to the HWO, but definitely can't rule out a quick +3 inches for areas along & N of the I-20 corridor where more intense storms/multiple rounds occurs. Strong WAA will help highs warm near-above normal into low-mid 70s today, while above normal into low to low 40s in the Delta to low-mid 60s in SE MS for the frontal passage tonight. /DC/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 324 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2022 Today and Tonight...The potential for a significant severe weather event has further expanded across the forecast area this morning. Conditions across the region will quickly moderate up under strong southerly flow at the surface and even stronger southwest flow aloft today. This will result in deep moisture surging northward into the region. Warm advection shower activity is likely to get an early start, along with some isolated thunderstorms over the area by late morning as a frontal boundary lifts north from the coast. All of this is in response to a strong mid/upper level jet moving into the region, along with an increasing low level jet, ahead of a strong mid/upper level trough that'll swing east across and out of the central and southern plains states through the day. This trough will then eject northeast across the Mid-Mississippi River Valley and Mid- South region towards the Great Lakes region through Wednesday morning. This will result in a deepening surface low that'll quickly lift northeast from the central plains into the Great Lakes region this afternoon into tonight. As it does so, it'll drag a cold front into and through the CWA late tonight into Wednesday morning. Ahead of the front, very sufficient shallow (30-40 kts, 0-1 km & 40- 50 kts 0-3 km) and deep-layer (50-65 kts, 0-6 km) wind shear will exist, resulting in long looping Hodographs with storm-relative helicity values between 300-400 m^2 s^2, along with more than adequate for this time of year (1000-1700 J/kg MLCAPE), and steep mid-level lapse rates (6.5-7.0 C/km, 700-500 MB). All of the above will set the stage for a long duration severe weather event, where significant severe weather will be possible across a large portion of the forecast area from early this afternoon through early Wednesday morning. A "Moderate Risk" for severe storms has been expanded to include the majority of our forecast area. Severe weather is expected, with significant severe weather consisting of tornadic supercells producing strong tornadoes...some possibly significant and long- tracked, damaging wind gusts to 80 mph, and golf ball to tennis ball size hail all possible. Surrounding this "Moderate" and covering much of the remainder of the CWA, is an "Enhanced Risk" for severe storms. Here, damaging winds to 70 mph, tornadoes...some possibly strong, and quarter to golf ball size hail will all be possible. In addition to this, a "Flash Flood Watch" has been hoisted for a portion of Southeast Mississippi from 15Z today through 12Z Wednesday. Here, 2-3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, are possible. A good portion of this area has already observed 3-5 inches of rain over the past week. With these forecasted rainfall totals through early Wednesday morning, it could easily result in some flash flooding across the area, especially is multiple storms move across the same areas. The cold front will finally push through the forecast area through the course of Wednesday morning. Cooler, drier, and quiet conditions will gradually fill into the CWA in the wake of the front as high pressure at the surface will quickly build into area. With rain in the process of exiting Southeast Mississippi by sunrise, lows will range from the lower 40s across the Delta to the lower 60s across Southeast Mississippi Wednesday morning. /19/ Wednesday through Monday...a dry continental polar airmass will bring seasonably cool temperatures to the forecast area with readings expected to be several degrees below climate normals. Thereafter, expect the airmass to quickly modify as an anomalous subtropical ridge builds over the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent coastal region. Another polar cold front should approach from the north and infringe on the ridge as we go through the weekend and into early next week. This should result in shower chances across northern portions of the area, and with the surface front likely hanging up just to our north, we can expect very mild daytime highs continuing into early next week. /EC/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2022 Mostly MVFR/IFR conditions prevail across the area and expect these conditions to continue through the period. A strong storm system will move across the area this afternoon into tonight with widespread showers/thunderstorms, some of these storms will be severe. The winds will be gusty out of the south today becoming westerly than Northwesterly overnight behind the front./15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

An EF-2 tornado touched down just northwest of the city Steens along Jess Lyons Road on the north side of the Green Oaks Golf Course. Several softwood trees were uprooted at the start. The tornado continued east and northeast across mostly wooded areas and produced intermittent tree and vegetation damage. The steeple on Mt. Zion Church near the intersection of Wolfe Road and Neilson Road was blown over. The tornado quickly widened and intensified as it moved east of Wolfe Road, and an approximately 150 yard wide by 1.8 mile long swath of downed trees was observed on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery before the tornado reached Calendonia Steens Road. Several homes had broken windows, trees were snapped, and roofs were damaged near at Caledonia Steens Rd. As the tornado crossed Mississippi Highway 12, it attained its peak intensity of 132 mph. A house along Hwy 12 had many of its exterior walls collapsed. The fire house for Lowndes County Fire Department District One Station Two was severely damaged as well. The doors were blown in, the roof was blown off, and several panels were blown out or damaged. Trees were also snapped and uprooted along Hwy 12 and Jerry Reynolds Road, and then the tornado continued east across Vaughn Roberts Road where softwood trees were blown. The tornado dissipated before reaching the Alabama state border. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. The estimated peak wind speed was 132 mph.
An EF-2 tornado touched down southeast of Stringer near the intersection of County Roads 195 and 19. Trees were damaged or uprooted in this area, and two homes had minor roof damage. The tornado moved nort-northeast and crossed CR 193 where an older wooden home lost a significant portion of the roof, had its windows broken, and walls damaged. The tornado then turned to the northeast and crossed CR 21 where minor shingle damage was done to a home along with multiple uprooted nearby pine trees. The tornado then traveled across a large wooded creek bottom area. Satellite imagery indicated a swath of damaged or downed trees approximately 120 yards wide by 1.5 miles long between the Terrapin Creek and CR 23. The tornado broke a light pole and damaged a metal building as it crossed CR 23. It continued across more creek bottom land and then crossed CR 52816 near its intersection with Mississippi Highway 528. The most intense damage occurred here, where there was a focused path of damage to trees and buildings. There was heavy tree damage, a shed was destroyed and debris thrown a sizable distance, a well built brick home had the entire roof removed with sections thrown and deposited some distance away, and some chicken houses were heavily damaged. A few other homes in this vicinity were damaged but were just outside of the strong core. The tornado weakened as it moved past Highway 528. It dissipated near the intersection of CR 14 and 31. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado. The peak estimated wind wind speed was 120 mph.
Wind damage and debris trapped a few people at Malone's Grocery.
An EF-1 tornado began along Bethany-Ebenezer Road in northwestern Winston County. The tornado mainly uprooted, snapped, or damaged trees along its path. It crossed Turnipseed Road, Miller Road, and then into the Highpoint community before it moved into southeastern Choctaw County near Eiland Road.
