- None
Overview:
WHAT: SLIGHT RISK of Severe Weather
WHEN: After midnight tonight through Friday morning
WHERE: All of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi for overnight hours, then along and east of a line from Thibodaux to Poplarville for Friday morning after sunrise.
CONFIDENCE:
- We are confident that there will be thunderstorms across the area and that a few will be strong to severe. We expect hail to be a threat but have less confidence on whether wind or tornadoes will be the secondary threat.
Impacts:
The main threats associated with any severe storms will be:
Wind:
- Wind gusts greater than 60 mph will be possible
Large Hail:
- Large hail over one inch in diameter will be possible (greatest risk)
Tornadoes:
- Conditional on storm development; so a few tornadoes can not be ruled out.
Rainfall:
- In addition to the severe weather threat, rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is forecast with locally higher amounts possible.
