An EF-1 tornado started in the Pearl River bottom west of US Highway 49 and traveled east-northeast to where it dissipated shortly after it crossed Mississippi Highway 468 near JL Jones Drive. Near the start of the path, a few trees were blown down or damaged along Shady Lane and Old Highway 49. Then the tornado crossed Highway 49. Multiple trees were uprooted or had limbs broken along Linda Jo Drive, Lowe Circle, and Northwind Drive. The tornado crossed S Pearson Road at the intersection of W Petros Road and then moved through the Richland Creek bottom. It then moved across A Street and Lee Drive and dissipated after it crossed the intersection of MS Highway 468 and JL Jones Drive. Multiple trees were uprooted and damaged, and a tree was blown down across the railroad track nearby. A couple of power lines were also blown down near the end of the path. The peak estimated wind speed was 95 mph.
