A very dangerous storm is ongoing early this morning across the Mississippi Delta just to the east of Greenwood, MS.
A wedge tornado is reported on the ground with the isolated supercell.
It is in Carroll county just north of Carrollton and will be passing over I-55 north of Winona.
It is moving in the general direction of Tupelo. The environment will become slightly less unstable the further northeast it goes, but the shear will remain just as strong so there is no sign the storm will weaken.
This same storm produced a confirmed tornado north of Belzoni in Humphreys County. A storm chaser reported a tornado near Phillipeton in southern Leflore County around 11:42 p.m.
