It does appear the experts are truly concerned about the sounding information across the BR area. I’ve never seen them this concerned about a severe weather outbreak before. You’d swear they’re thinking a hurricane is about to make landfall. I can’t tell whether they’re just hyping r up or if they’re truly thinking, “holy shite this is gonna be bad”.


Honestly, the parameters to support tornadic supercells are high, but there is a genuine uncertainty whether those cells will be linear or discrete in nature.

They've (New Orleans office) shifted the primary concern to straight line winds from a linear system.

My bad. UH = Updraft Helicity

In basic terms, this helps us to see where there might be storms with rotation in their updrafts. Doesn't mean that just because there is a streak/rotation, there will be a tornado. It is just another factor to look at when determining where there might be a tornado threat.

I'd go south then east. Storms should line up in a NNE/SSW orientation later today. Taking 49 and 10 would probably keep you dry the most.

This is the most recent hourly radar from 7am to 1am.



You can leave Shreveport for Lafayette in a few hours and never see rain if that comes to fruition.

Sorry Walt, just trying to make people laugh and forget about the weather. Just a little comic relief before what’s going to be the darkest of dark days

Sun is out in Lafayette. Sunshine in the morning on days like today usually enhances the instability.

It probably is for most of South of LA, but I'm sure there will be a couple of pockets where it's pretty bad. Not so sure this is being overhyped for MS/AL though.
