0203 AM CDT Sat Apr 01 2023
Areas affected...portions of western and central Mississippi into
parts of northeastern and central Louisiana
Concerning...Tornado Watch 99...
Valid 010703Z - 010830Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 99 continues.
SUMMARY...Local risk for damaging winds or perhaps a brief tornado
continues from central Louisiana northeastward across west-central
Mississippi.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a cluster of strong/locally
severe storms -- which has included occasional/weak circulation in a
couple of the strongest updrafts -- moving eastward across
northeastern Louisiana and adjacent west-central Mississippi. While
storms have remains somewhat subdued, intensity-wise, over the past
hour or so, the downstream airmass remains moist and amply unstable.
With KDGX WSR-88D VWP indicating that ample shear persists across
this region, potential for severe-weather risk to continue remains
evident. At some point, new WW issuance may need to be considered
into east-central Mississippi.
