Slight Risk for Severe Weather for Portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama Today

An expansive squall-line is currently located over North and Central Louisiana, Central Mississippi, and Central Alabama; it no longer looks like it will weaken this morning.

Instead, it looks like the squall will continue to track south, pushing into and across South Louisiana, South Mississippi, South Alabama, and the Western Florida Panhandle late this morning/early this afternoon through late this afternoon and this evening. Isolated storms could also develop ahead of it.

Some storms embedded within the squall could become severe. Any isolated storms that develop ahead of the squall-line could also become severe.

severe weather outlook for today (valid through 6:00 AM CST tomorrow).

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded portions of the “marginal risk” area to a “slight risk.”

The primary threat with any severe storms over the course of the day will be damaging winds, though some hail and an isolated tornado or two will be possible.
