Weather service is investigating a 4th tornado on MS Gulf Coast during Claudette

The National Weather Service in New Orleans tweeted they are investigating a fourth tornado on the Mississippi Gulf Coast from Saturday morning as Tropical Storm Claudette moved over the region.

A survey team will be sent to learn more about possible tornado damage in Pascagoula.

Three weak tornadoes were reported near Pass Christian, Long Beach and Jackson County. Waterspouts also were spotted in the Mississippi Sound.

After the tropical storm and Sunday’s summer solstice, daytime heating is expected to bring afternoon storms throughout the week.

There is a slight risk of heavy rainfall through Tuesday morning.

Heavy rainfall may lead to a slight risk of flash flooding in low-lying areas, and flood warnings are still in effect for the Wolf and Biloxi rivers.

The Wolf River was measured at 11.9 feet at 7:45 a.m. Monday and is expected to remain near 12 feet then slowly decrease. Its flood stage is at 8 feet.

The Biloxi River was measured at 14.2 feet Monday and is expected to remain near 14 feet then slowly decrease. Its flood stage is at 12 feet.
