Don't know if you guys saw this, but a University of Alabama swimmer was killed in the storm yesterday. Absolutely terrible news.
Stay safe everyone

Personally, I don't see it happening here but you never know. Forecasters were spot on in Alabama and Arkansas. To put things into perspective - they currently have a TORCON of 7 in Alabama right now while we sit at a 5.

The atmosphere across S. Louisiana is actually pretty concerning at this time, the I-55 corridor all the way up to Jackson is close to being primed. The main inhibitor right now is cell maturity, something would probably have to initiate down near New Iberia to cause issues for Baton Rouge. With that said, the cells west of BR will be moving into a more favorable environment as they push towards the I-55 corridor.

But I don't see anything happening on the south shore.

If I'm understanding correctly, the cell passing NW of Zachary is moving into an area that will be very favorable for strengthening?

OKLAHOMA CITY
A major tornado outbreak continues in the deep south. The tornado outbreak continues Tuesday.
April 27 and 28 of this year have both been high-risk days for tornadoes in the deep south. The last time the United States had two consecutive days with a high risk was May 24 and 25, 2011.
Only one time in U.S. history has there been three consecutive days where the Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma issued a high risk.
The only time in history with three consecutive days of a high risk was May 3, 4 and 5, 1999.
A high risk is the greatest threat level issued by the Storm Prediction Center. It means a significant, widespread severe weather outbreak is expected.

The cell north of Zachary looks to be getting its act together. Possibly in the beginning stages of forming the classic "hook" echo. It's in the typical "V" shape and the bottom of the V is strengthening. As it moves northeast, I can see this one forming some rotation.

Who knows if anything will initiate that far SW but that is the area I would watch, if your primary concern is BR. The cumulus field doesn't look overly agitated but there have been a couple of pulses.

Haha... Feel like I'm in the same boat. Was saying to myself that I couldn't believe that a warning wasn't on the storm yet... and then 30 sec later I got the notice from TWC.
Got the RadarScope app on my phone for today. I'm addicted.
Eta: Looks like a tornado East of Slaughter (disclaimer: I'm a rookie at this and don't know what I'm talking about)
