MD 0014 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 1… FOR CENTRAL LOUISIANA INTO FAR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0014 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0319 PM CST Sun Jan 05 2025 Areas affected...central Louisiana into far southeast Texas Concerning...Tornado Watch 1... Valid 052119Z - 052245Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 1 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms will continue to pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and a couple tornadoes from central Louisiana into far southeast Texas the remainder of the afternoon. DISCUSSION...A QLCS just ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front will continue to pose a risk for isolated damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes, especially across central Louisiana, over the next few hours. Additional more semi-discrete cells have developed across the modestly unstable warm sector ahead of the QLCS. This activity is occurring in a strongly sheared environment, supporting organized convection with intermittent rotation. However, stronger surface pressure falls and large-scale ascent will continue to shift northeast of this area. This may ultimately result in a somewhat suppressed severe risk compared to areas to the northeast across northeast LA into western MS. ..Leitman.. 01/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
