Just had a front go through Little Rock. This is the weirdest place ever for weather; it’s like hell is breaking loose all around Little Rock but we seem to escape the bad stuff. I guess the mountains and river break it up as it’s coming through.

Biggest concern right now would be the eastern portions of the High for open warm sector supercells. There appears to be a prefrontal trough that could the trigger.

Is that line of storms in central Arkansas the final storm line?

If so it’s getting pretty close to the high risk area and no discrete cells forming ahead of it yet. Seems if it’s gonna fire off it better hurry at least for the western portion of the high risk area

ETA it always seems rare to get discrete cells here. It always lines out over the delta while the cells form around Winona/Kosciusko in the hills ahead of the line. Maybe the flat land helps us?

It looks like it’s not going to be that bad in Louisiana. The squall line is working its way through the state and there no cells forming yet. You can see them starting to fire in Mississippi and Alabama.

Hope not but it's one of those still, muggy days that seems to be a precursor.

I'm here in Madison, MS...I have always noticed that when big storms hit the river usually makes them intensifies depending on how warm it is. It is weird how the river affects storms that come through.

Line just moved through Shreveport. Fairly run of the mill thunderstorm. Big gust as it got here and briefly rained like a mother fricker but already letting up.

Sure but you can see the cells already peppering eastern Mississippi and western Alabama. We’ll see what happens but I was thinking they had the high risk area too far west. It should have been more centered on the Mississippi/Alabama border.

Shreveport wasn’t really under the gun. The line of storms is just getting to the edge of the moderate area.

The high risk area will likely start firing up storms in the next hour or two

That’s how it usually plays out but they always hype western Ms but it rarely materializes. We will get bad storms when the front comes through but the discrete supercells are rare in the delta. Atmosphere is prime for it here but rarely occurs. I don’t know if it’s the Ms River or the flat land but cells just don’t spin up in the delta like they do in east MS

Seems that frontal boundary slowed way down. It came from Texas into Arkansas/LA pretty quick now it looks like it’s sat in same spot for an hour

Up here in North AL, the morning round gave us close to 2" of rain and about 3 hours or so of continuous thunder. Had some wind, too.

I think we have a little more to look forward to but my weather app is showing the rain end around 1-2; and then a little rain tonight. I’m no expert but we didn’t get anything too bad. But that’s common, it always seems like it picks up steam as it moves east towards the delta. There really is some kind of atmospheric dome around Little Rock.

On future radar that line seems to expand and get more angry as it pushes through, south Louisiana.
