Considering the level of hype this was a major bust

I’m glad it wasn’t bad, but the consistent over hyping is dangerous because people will start ignoring the threats

...01Z Update...

...Discussion...
Recent surface analysis places a convectively augmented cold front
extending from far southeast AR/northeast LA southwestward to far
southwest LA (near UXL). The fast eastward progression of the cold
front has lead to undercutting and resultant weakening of the
convective line ongoing across eastern LA. General expectation is
for this cold front to continue eastward, eventually interacting
with the lead convective line currently extending from central MS
southward through south-central MS. Interaction between these two
features will likely dictate the severe coverage overnight, with a
constructive interaction leading to an increase in severe
thunderstorms.

An additional factor favoring an increase in overall storm intensity
is the placement of the low-level jet. Recent DGX VAD sampled 60 kt
at 1 km and 80 kt at 3 km. This matches well with anticipated
strengthening of the low-level jet across eastern MS and western AL.

A favored corridor for this strengthening is along the warm front,
which currently extends from a surface low just northwest of HEZ
northeastward to just north of BHM.

The storm mode will likely remain linear, limiting the potential for
long-track tornadoes. However, strong low-level shear will still
result in the possibility of a few embedded, short-duration
tornadoes in addition to damaging wind gusts.

Agreed about the over hyping. It seems like when these events are hyped like this, at least for Louisiana, they bust. The events that drop tornadoes and truly have bad results seem to come with limited hype or are not from the forecasted major outbreaks.

It ain't over for us baw. Local weather and nws warning says confirmed, hazardous tornado on the ground. We're at turkey camp and are about 15 minutes out from a direct hit, or a miss by a tit hair, assuming it holds together.

Scan before last had it strengthening and heading dead at us, next scan had it weakening and going damn near due north, and latest scan has it back on track with us and getting more debris sig.

Local weather guy said he's never seen a storm wiggle around like this due to the winds fighting each other.

Definitely looks like a tornado right north of Tylertown, headed between Columbia and Monticello @ 42mph

Just turned and will probably track north of us. Another 5 minutes and we can pour the grain drank, fire up the griddle and live to chase longbeards for another day!

Mesoscale Discussion 0329
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0825 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019

Areas affected...Southeast Mississippi and far southwest Alabama

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 140125Z - 140300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Line embedded supercells currently in south central
Mississippi are expected to move east with a threat of damaging
winds and tornadoes.

DISCUSSION...In the last hour, storms on the southern periphery of
the confluence band in central Mississippi have started to
strengthen. The strongest of these storms is currently entering
Walthall county. The 00Z LIX sounding shows moderate instability
with effective shear around 60 knots and 0-1 km SRH in excess of 450
m2/s2. This environment will support all severe hazards including
the potential for tornadoes. Widespread convective development in
this confluence band will likely lead to storm interference similar
to the storms farther north, but there is the potential that storms
could remain more discrete in this area which would support the
tornado threat despite a slightly weaker wind field compared to
areas farther north.

If several sustained storms can materialize across southern
Mississippi, an additional tornado watch may need to be issued in
far southeast Mississippi and far southwest Alabama.

KNOE - Boley Elementary School on fire

quote:

A fire is consuming Boley Elementary School in West Monroe.

The fire started around 5 pm this evening. The school is now in flames. West Monroe PD says they believe the fire might have started in the attic.

First responders are on the scene. KNOE viewer, Cheyenne Alaniz, sent in photos that show the school in flames.

Police say no one was in the school at the time and no one was hurt. They don't have a cause yet, so it's unclear at this time if it is related to the storms.

TWC and storm chasers in Monroe are making it sound like it for sure was started by a lightning strike even though KNOE doesn't make that assumption

Delta, you say that flippantly but the reality is you should be damn happy it wasn't worse. The Alto, Tx tornado ripped that rural town apart. The images are crazy. 2 dead, 20 injured, houses gone, school torn up and hundreds if not thousands of pines snapped and all,over the highways and FM roads. That is the same warning that was tracking to Toledo Bend and Zowalle, LA but didn't, thankfully. Broke up maybe, what, a few minutes before as it was moving at 50 mph.

Sorry it didn't hit Louisiana so the thread would have been "justified".

This. Thanks to all of you that track these storms. These threads and the weather channel is my go-to during outbreaks.
