ArkLaMiss






The atmosphere is starting to refuel by bringing in moisture from the gulf again and dew points along southern Louisiana are creeping up. Across the ArkLaMiss CAPE is increasing, the storm relative helicity is decent, and the lifted index shows storms will most likely be surface based. These ingredients indicate strong severe storms including violent tornadoes. This weather will most likey propagate northeast ward into Mississippi. The biggest threat is in the ArkLaMiss Delta, but the three states should all be weather aware as a threat for damaging winds, hail, and dangerous lighning is for everyone.

As we storm chase today, we will focus on the Monroe Lousiana area and then from about Jackson, MS to Meridian, MS during the evening. Which brings me to another point. Night tornadoes are particularly dangerous because you can't see them! Stay tuned to your local TV stations and NWS.

To the left are some analysis.
