Vicksburg and Warren County dodged extreme severe weather as a line of storms preceding a cold front passed through the area and Mississippi Monday.

The line of thunderstorms passed through early Monday, putting Warren County under a severe thunderstorm warning about 10 a.m. The storms dropped 3.24 inches of rain on the area, according to information from the city’s water treatment plant on Haining Road. Rain, thunder and wind were all that affected Vicksburg and the county.

“Most of the bad weather was in southeast Mississippi,” said Warren County Emergency Management Director John Elfer. “The only thing we had reported was a tree down on Freetown Road.”

Anna Wolverton, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson said one confirmed tornado was reported in Copiah County at Wesson, where a school was damaged. She said the Weather Service office received other reports of problems, but had not confirmed if that damage was from tornadoes.

“You had some severe thunderstorms pass through Vicksburg,” she said.

The passing front dropped temperatures from the low 60s into the low 50s, but Wolverton said the skies were expected to clear with temperatures beginning a warming trend Tuesday.

“We’ll see clear skies and highs in the 60s and 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s for the rest of the week,” she said.
