MD 0401 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 95… FOR NORTHERN LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0401
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0517 PM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024
Areas affected…northern Louisiana
Concerning…Tornado Watch 95…
Valid 092217Z – 092345Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 95 continues.
SUMMARY…A line of storms will move east this evening with a threat
for severe wind gusts and potentially a few tornadoes.
DISCUSSION…A well organized bowing-segment continue east across
northern Louisiana. This bow will continue to pose a threat for
severe wind gusts. In addition, a few tornadoes are possible given
around 150 m2/s2 0-1 SRH and several mesovorticies within the line.
The greatest tornado potential may be on the northern periphery of
the bow where the UDCZ is becoming more normal to the low-level
shear vector. In addition, it appears a meso-low and potential
“comma head” may be starting to form. Eventually, this line of
storms will move into weaker instability and weaker low-level flow
across Mississippi which will likely result in weakening of this
bow.
