Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted April 2 Administrators Share Posted April 2 MD 0350 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/NORTHERN LOUISIANA INTO PARTS OF SOUTHERN/CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI Mesoscale Discussion 0350 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1258 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Areas affected...Portions of central/northern Louisiana into parts of southern/central Mississippi Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 021758Z - 022000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Though uncertainty exists, a watch is possible for portions of central/southern Mississippi depending on overall trends in storm coverage and organization. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary hazards. DISCUSSION...Storms in central Louisiana have steadily deepened over the past hour or two. These storms will continue northeastward into a moist airmass where temperatures are in the low 80s F. Additional storms are possible along the pre-frontal wind shift and later the cold front. The observed 17Z JAN sounding showed a very modest decrease in a warm layer at around 700 mb. Effective shear is sufficient for a few organized updrafts. Additional cooling aloft as the main synoptic trough approaches may also lead to some intensification by late afternoon. While the need for a watch is uncertain at this time, a watch for parts of central/southern Mississippi is possible should trends in convective coverage and organization warrant. ..Wendt/Thompson.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
