1037 AM CDT Sun Apr 22 2018
Areas affected...Southeast Louisiana...Southern
Mississippi...Southwest Alabama...Far Western Florida Panhandle
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 221537Z - 221800Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A marginal tornado and wind damage threat will persist
into the early afternoon across parts of southeast Louisiana,
southern Mississippi. The threats will likely affect southwest
Alabama and the far western Florida Panhandle later today. No
weather watch is expected due to the marginal setup.
DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a 1011 mb low over
southeast Louisiana with a warm front extending eastward across
south-central Mississippi. A moist airmass was located south of the
front with surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s F. Water vapor
imagery showed a shortwave trough over the lower Mississippi Valley. Large-scale ascent associated with this feature will continue to
support thunderstorm development along the warm front into the
afternoon where a marginal wind damage threat will persist.
Further south across far southern Mississippi and southeast
Louisiana, surface dewpoints are near 70 F and instability is
considerably stronger. The RAP suggests that SBCAPE is estimated to
be near 1000 J/kg right along the Mississippi coast. The Mobile
WSR-88D VWP does show enough speed and directional shear in the
lowest 2 km AGL for a marginal tornado threat. However, due to
widespread clouds and precipitation ahead of the activity, most of
the instability is offshore suggesting that any tornado threat will
remain marginal.
