Could be. The instability is a little lacking but the shear is absolutely there to support it.

March 1 is the official timeframe for when the Lake Charles radar is expected to be back on line

but the NWS LC met says it's actually been running ahead of schedule so there's hope it could actually be up and running by the end of January

but for tomorrow... NWS LC is relying solely on Fort Polk radar to guide everyone through tomorrow's event

Apparently NWS New Orleans/Baton Rouge can’t update their graphics on their site to reflect changes in forecast. They’ve still got the same severe weather forecast graphic on their website that they put out at 4am this morning. NWS Birmingham would be updating the thing at least 2-3 times a day.

NWS Birmingham is tGOAT local NWS office.

I've been hoping their radar would be back online by the time any significant severe threat popped up. By the looks of Radar Scope, it is still down, though.

March is the official time frame for restoration of service to the Lake Charles radar

but there's hope it could be operational by the end of January

There's definitely a gap in coverage there. It looks similar to a northern state now when it comes to radar coverage.
