WW 97 SEVERE TSTM LA 092250Z - 100200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 97 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 550 PM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northeast Louisiana * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 550 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A well-organized bowing line of thunderstorms over northern Louisiana will continue tracking eastward into the watch area early this evening. Damaging winds will be possible along the leading edge of the line of storms. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 30 statute miles east and west of a line from 100 miles north of Natchez MS to 25 miles southwest of Natchez MS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 95...WW 96... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.

MD 0401 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 95... FOR NORTHERN LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0401 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0517 PM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Areas affected...northern Louisiana Concerning...Tornado Watch 95... Valid 092217Z - 092345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 95 continues. SUMMARY...A line of storms will move east this evening with a threat for severe wind gusts and potentially a few tornadoes. DISCUSSION...A well organized bowing-segment continue east across northern Louisiana. This bow will continue to pose a threat for severe wind gusts. In addition, a few tornadoes are possible given around 150 m2/s2 0-1 SRH and several mesovorticies within the line. The greatest tornado potential may be on the northern periphery of the bow where the UDCZ is becoming more normal to the low-level shear vector. In addition, it appears a meso-low and potential "comma head" may be starting to form. Eventually, this line of storms will move into weaker instability and weaker low-level flow across Mississippi which will likely result in weakening of this bow. ..Bentley.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 95 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 215 PM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northern Louisiana East Texas * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 215 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...An organizing thunderstorm cluster will move eastward from east Texas into northern Louisiana through this evening. A mix of bowing segments and embedded supercell structures will pose the threat for damaging winds of 60-75 mph and a few tornadoes, including the potential for an isolated strong tornado or two (roughly EF2). The more intense storms may also produce isolated large hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles southwest of Longview TX to 40 miles north northeast of Alexandria LA.

MD 0400 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0400 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0355 PM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Areas affected...portions of central Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 092055Z - 092230Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing behind an initial round of storms, with large hail and damaging gusts the main threat. A couple instances of 2+ inch hail and perhaps a tornado are also possible. A new WW issuance will likely be needed to address the impending severe threat. DISCUSSION...In the wake of earlier storms, some airmass modification is underway along the intersection of the dryline and multiple outflow boundaries. Continued surface heating and greater ascent from an approaching mid-level trough should encourage the initiation of strong to severe storms along the aforementioned boundaries this afternoon into the evening hours. Long, straight hodographs suggest splitting supercells will likely be the predominant storm mode, with large hail and damaging gusts the main threats. A few instances of 2+ inch hail are also possible wherever storms can interact with a relatively more pristine airmass, where mid-level lapse rates remain steep. If a supercell can traverse one of the outflow boundaries for an appreciable period of time, a tornado cannot be ruled out, though the tornado threat should be limited by a lack of stronger low-level shear. Nonetheless, at least a few robust storms may develop over portions of central TX this afternoon into evening, and a WW issuance may be needed in the next few hours. ..Squitieri/Thompson.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0440 PM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Valid 111200Z - 171200Z A upper-level low will propagate eastward across southern Arizona/southern New Mexico and into the central and southern Plains on D1-Tuesday, bringing potential for widespread wetting rainfall and cooler temperatures. The expected precipitation will help to moisten fuels and reduce fire weather concerns across portions of the southern Plains through the middle of the period. For D3 - D4 Thursday to Friday, high pressure will build across the Great Plains, keeping winds low where fuels remain dry. Late in the period D5 - D6 Saturday to Sunday, another western trough is projected to begin spreading enhanced westerly flow across the southwest into the Rockies, which may bring additional periods of fire weather concerns to the central/southern Plains as well as some drying of fuels across portions of the Desert Southwest. Uncertainty on status of fuels after widespread rainfall leads to low confidence in including areas at this time. Low level moisture will stream northward into the southern Plains on D7 - Sunday ahead of a western trough. Potential for strong lee cyclone development and another period of potential for fire weather concerns. ..Thornton.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
