Overnight Weather Thread - LA, MS, AL

but what does PEEJ say?

quote:

---

Dam, what's with all the tornado conditions lately. Has Tornado Alley shifted?

---

No, but there is another area that has a high frequency of tornadoes.. Dixie Alley



Our season is usually April through June, then also in the fall. In dixie alley tornadoes have a tendency to be HP (high precipitation) tornadoes, in that they are wrapped in rain usually, and hard to see. Also in dixie alley, unlike tornado alley, tornadoes are more frequent at night, due to the area being able to hold on to instability longer.

You love some fuucking weather, don't you?

Canadian will not be happy about this...

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0294
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0334 PM CDT SAT APR 05 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...SRN LA...SRN MS...SRN AL...WRN FL PANHANDLE

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 052034Z - 052200Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A BAND OF STRONG CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO ADVANCE NWD
ACROSS COASTAL PORTIONS OF LA/MS/AL/FL PANHANDLE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. HAIL APPROACHING SEVERE LEVELS IS THE GREATEST THREAT WITH
THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY.

DISCUSSION...AN ELONGATED W-E CORRIDOR OF CONVECTION...ROUGHLY 75 MI
WIDE...IS ADVANCING SLOWLY NWD TOWARD THE CNTRL GULF COAST. THIS
BAND OF STORMS HAS EVOLVED NORTH OF A SFC BOUNDARY AND APPEARS TO BE
DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY WEAK LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION. IN THE ABSENCE
OF OTHER MEANINGFUL FORCING...CONVECTION SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH POSSIBLE STRENGTHENING ACROSS LA WHERE
850MB FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE DURING THE EVENING. LATEST
WDSSII DATA SUGGESTS ISOLATED HAIL CORES HAVE EVOLVED WITH THE
STRONGEST ACTIVITY BUT SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS.
EVEN SO...HAIL COULD APPROACH 1 INCH AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY WITHIN
THE STRONGER WARM ADVECTION.

Sooo today rain, tomorrow maybe hail? Tornado producing weather rolling in? Did I read all those charts correctly?

Interesting thanks.

About two weeks ago we had one barely miss. Hit neighbors shed about 200 yards down the road then jumped and ripped some huge trees in half on the other side of hwy.

and this is just the morning round.. tomorrow afternoon is when the real shite comes through through the overnight hours

They've been calling for rain all day and we haven't gotten a drop here in NOLA. I'm biking when I go out tonight, so it should start right about the time that I put my feet on the pedals.

It rained about a half inch at my house in New Orleans today.
