An long-lived MCS continues to drop south out of north Mississippi this afternoon. This complex of severe storms has brought extensive wind damage across the Memphis Metro area, as well as parts of NE Arkansas and extreme N Mississippi. This complex is feeding off a very unstable airmass as it continues to chug south towards central Mississippi. Wind gusts have been recorded and/or estimated well over 60mph across west Tennessee, and some gusts have even been as high as 80mph. Roof and tree damage has been reported as well. As these storms continue to build south, the main threat will be damaging straight-lined winds that could easily bring down trees and power lines and cause roof damage.
