Editing is not deleting, and you did edit posts it’s there for everyone to see, it says it under the post.

And here you are playing your equal part in cluttering the thread.

North central LA here and we just got hit with a monster. Shocked I don’t have trees down. Pine tree tops were damn near sideways. No severe storm or tornado warnings.


I was watching that one on the radar and it looked bad. This whole line seemed to pick up speed after it crossed the Red River. They finally warned it when it approached Hwy 167.

They let the severe thunderstorm warning expire on that part of the line and did issue another, which was kind of surprising. There weren't any really big gusts recorded, so I guess that's why, but the bowing segment didn't really go over a station with an anemometer.

Trust me, I didn't edit a damn thing to "save face". I have no reason to edit anything for that reason in this thread. I edit because I am OCD about grammar. I edit a lot of posts.

Because none of us can do anything about school closures?

It’s fine if people post info about school closures in these threads, but the point of the thread is to discuss the weather not to have a debate about said school closures.

From the 12:30 SPC update:

quote:

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF EASTERN LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA...

...SUMMARY... Widespread severe thunderstorms are forecast beginning Wednesday morning across parts of the central Gulf Coast States. The potential will exist for several tornadoes, a few of which may be strong (EF2+), and widespread damaging winds, some of which may be particularly damaging.

quote:

...LA...MS...AL...western FL Panhandle... Early on Wednesday, storms are forecast to be ongoing from much of LA into southeast AR and expanding into MS, in a zone of rich low-level moisture. This area will be quite unstable with 2000-3000 J/kg MUCAPE common south of any existing clusters or outflows, and deep-layer shear will favor long-lived severe storms. Both damaging bows and supercells will be possible area-wide, with a strong SRH gradient near/east of the MS River supporting rotation and tornado risk. Evolution may be complex due to early day storms, but any existing MCS may proceed throughout the day producing damaging winds. Supercells will be more likely during the afternoon, possibly on the southwestern flank of any existing outflow boundaries. Diurnal warming as well as continued moisture advection may also support a few supercells within a growing area of warm advection precipitation east/southeast of any boundaries.

..Southern AL into the FL Panhandle Overnight... Storms are likely to consolidate along the cold front overnight, from the Gulf of Mexico northward into southern AL and perhaps southwest GA. Shear will remain quite favorable for supercells and tornado threat, with the main mitigating factor being possible antecedent convection and effects of outflow/air mass stabilization. Even so, it appears likely that a wedge of air mass recovery will develop just ahead of the line of storms, with periodic supercells and tornadoes possible. A couple strong tornadoes will be possible given effective SRH over 400 m2/s2.

I read that as a nod to the "destructive thunderstorm" possibility.

That's been a tricky storm even when it had a tornado warning. It had what looked like a really good couplet, but was likely side lobe contamination. The northern storm is a good hailer.

All of have these schools have weather days built into the schedule, and in 2024 we have better technology when it comes to predicting weather, compared to 1994.

Problem is in todays world if schools don’t close and there are predictions of possible wide spread tornados even if that is in reality a very small chance of actually hitting your kids school they have to do it. Heads would roll and law suits would fly if a school gets demolished and they were aware of the possibility.
