Hello...God speed to all of you in LA this evening. Things seemed to get going fast and they look to be legit and already sparking ground truth. There seems to be a ton of shear with these storm right off...please do not play around with these if you are the type who shrugs storms off. These just have a different dynamic to them today.

I wish all of you the best!!!

I'm practicing my radar observation, the one by Stanley looks like circulation, no?

Semi-pro tip #1: Use bigger towns as reference points.

I had to look up the Village of Stanley and it's population of 107.

ETA - You were right though. That cell is now warned, heading to Mansfield.

Natchitoches Parish tornado moving into Winn Parish. Current path would take it south of Winnfield.

crazy that this is happening on the borderline marginal to slight risk area.

Interesting setup with those cells firing on the leading edge of the best CAPE. The 18z sounding from Shreveport isn't very impressive, highlighting the tight gradient in this setup.



Cells are moving NE as the better thermodynamic environment to the south of them is being advected northward. Shear profiles are supportive of tornadic supercells off to the NE but these cells might outrun the better thermodynamic environment.
