”We did have a couple of trees down this morning cleared and we’re watching weather coming in to survive the next hour or two,” Bradford said. “By 1 p.m.  we should be in the clear.”

A tornado watch remains in effect until 1 p.m.

According to the National Weather Service Jackson office, focus has shifted well to southeast in areas of moderate risk, where tornadoes are likely. A slight risk of strong wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour remains for the immediate area with the worst of the threat ending around 11 a.m.
