Scattered thunderstorms developed in an unstable air mass across Mississippi during the late morning of July 8th. An upper-level shortwave trough passing through the region brought increased flow and helped to organize these thunderstorms into a line of strong to severe storms by the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts and isolated flash flooding occurred in the Pine Belt region of Mississippi with this line of storms.
