...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON FROM CENTRAL LOUISIANA TO WESTERN GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms are forecast this morning and early
afternoon from LA/MS into AL/GA.
...LA/MS/AL/GA...
Strong and deep southwesterly flow is present today over much of the
southeast US, with a well-defined baroclinic zone extending from
central LA across parts of MS/AL into northern GA. Thunderstorms
have been intensifying in the past few hours across southeast MS,
where multiple supercell structures and a couple of confirmed
tornadoes have occurred. This activity is expected to persist for
several more hours, tracking across parts of central AL and
eventually into western GA. Low-level winds and shear have become
sufficiently strong to support risk of a strong tornado or two along
this corridor.
By early afternoon, storms will spread eastward into GA and upstate
SC, where very weak instability will limit the severe threat.
