When is the best time to make the drive from Nola to BR? We were just told to take off at noon.

I'm glad to see all this minor convection ahead of the best dynamics. Lowers our risk, specifically for tornadoes.

Want to see all the BR people bitching about "bust" later.

Still hours to go while the main show gets together out west of here


Is there any reason why the Tornado Watch issued earlier did not include St. Tammany or southern MS counties? Do you expect one to be issued later?

It will definitely be issued eastward later.

I'm guessing it's mostly just a timing thing

as the line moves east... the watch will be extended east

Conditions aren't favorable enough yet.

100%

That's the most at risk area imo. Northern St. Tammany into Mississippi.

Watch that cell south of Morgan City. Looks like it's about to blow up.

Sounds like your boss wants you gone, but doesn't want to have to fire you or lay you off.

Is he making you use the crappiest car in his fleet?

Chances are it wouldn't be as big as those previously observed in the quad.

The cell that just went through Jeanerette has some potential.

He's allowing me to take my roller skates home from work today. Luckily I don't have to go too far. Motel 6 is right behind Sonic...I mean my office.

This activity should merge into a broader QLCS that moves east-northeast across the Lower MS Valley into AL through tonight. Rich boundary-layer moisture sampled by the 12Z Lake Charles sounding and characterized by upper 60s to lower 70s dew points will spread north ahead of this activity in conjunction with an amplifying low-level jet. Surface cyclone near Lake Charles will deepen as it ejects into the TN Valley through tonight. Moderate insolation/boundary-layer heating is underway downstream of the rich moisture plume. The combination of these will contribute to a swath of 750-1500 J/kg MLCAPE amid weak mid-level lapse rates, likely extending as far north as central MS to central AL during the late afternoon and evening


quote:

Strong low/deep-layer shear will be favorable for embedded bowing and supercell structures, however generally line-parallel flow may be a limiting factor.


quote:

Nevertheless, potential exists for scattered to widespread damaging winds along with short-track tornadoes (a few of which may be significant). The most likely region for these hazards to occur is across MS this afternoon and AL this evening.


quote:

Whether or not more discrete convection can become sustained ahead of the QLCS is uncertain. Most CAMs suggest ahead of the line convection should struggle to intensify along the leading edge of forcing for ascent. The overall severe risk should subside some overnight, but at least an isolated wind/tornado threat should persist into western GA and the eastern FL Panhandle through early morning.
