Radar detects Mesoscale Convective Vortex in central Mississippi

A radar update at 9:30 p.m. revealed a Mesoscale Convective Vortex in central Mississippi. The feature is a low-pressure center embedded within a larger storm system.

The vortex pulls winds into a circular pattern, or rotation, within the storm complex. Meteorologists say this type of feature can influence local weather conditions.

There were no immediate reports of severe weather linked to the vortex, but officials continue to monitor the storm system as it moves through the region.
