Potential for Isolated Strong to Severe Storms Across Southeast Louisiana This Morning

There is still a low-end (“marginal”) threat for some damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado or two across extreme Southeast Louisiana this morning within a complex of storms that is progressing east. However, the overall severe threat is only marginal.

Later this morning into this afternoon/evening, the aforementioned complex will push into South Mississippi, Southwest Alabama, and the far Western Florida Panhandle but will be weakening and starting to dissipate by then.

There is no longer any notable risk of severe weather across South Mississippi and South Louisiana today, as instability will be too limited.

Tomorrow: The same goes for tomorrow in regard to the severe weather potential. Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are still likely across Southeast Louisiana, South Mississippi, Southwest Alabama, and the Western Florida Panhandle, though.

Rainfall: Rainfall accumulations between 0.50″ – 2″ are still anticipated across most of the North-Central Gulf Coast between now and tomorrow (with the exception of much of South Alabama and the Western Florida Panhandle, where accumulations between 0.10″ and 0.25″ are likely.
