Call me dumb, but my radar shows stuff heading to Memphis, but not much below Alexandria.

Ya frick driving into a tornado. They used to get way too close in just their stock Tahoe
I do have respect for them for doing what they do to learn more about the storms. And I used to always watch the StormChasers show on Discovery. The early seasons were enjoyable but the later seasons just became more of a "reality" show with Joel screaming at everything when a raindrop hit the windshield.

alright, i know what you mean now. yeah they're gonna get rain/thunder.. but as far as convective storms itll be south of there. there's 1500 j/kg cape values off the coast of louisiana, the shear is up to 35 kts at 0-3km, and helicity values are at 350+ across south la (which is rare for our area).

i used to love their live stream.. but they don't take as many risks as they used to. the other streamers are usually in better position most of the time.

So, for someone in Gonzales, what does this mean, in regular public school terms?

Looks like the flooding threat has lessened. Was supposed to be raining all day, now looks to be more of nighttime squall line set-up

Sometimes I get the feeling the weather nuts just make jargon up as they go when they get all excited. I mean, I recognize that as English, but it makes no fricking sense, kinda like listening to a schizophrenic.

Face it... Baton Rouge will get a few small storms..{IF ANY]...
I am SOOOOO Tired of the weather folks out there overselling bad weather....

keep an eye out, make sure you have a weather radio, and beware of tornadoes over night.

Had one once, it woke me up all night about warnings 3 states away that had no bearing on me. Had it throw it out.

CAPE is potential energy available for making thunderstorms. Basically think of it as warm air below and cold dry air above. Forces it to lift up. Sheer is wind blowing across the system...it'll help to cause rotation.
Tonight this mix will help support supercells in front of the coming cold front. They'll generally be smallish cells alone or in a small cluster out in front of the squall line. Those are the ones to worry about for the severe weather.
I'll let others fill in any nuance or misunderstand with my post but I think that explains it for your means fairly well.

Helicity means "potential for rotation" basically..
the values mean-
SRH = 150-299 ... supercells possible with weak tornadoes according to Fujita scale
SRH = 300-499 ... very favourable to supercells development and strong tornadoes
SRH > 450 ... violent tornadoes
Wind Shear is a variation of winds.. this is an ingredient in convective thunderstorms.
CAPE is convective available potential energy, or the amount of instability in the atmosphere.
values are:
1 - 1,500 Positive
1,500 - 2,500 Large
2,500+ Extreme
