The anticipated severe weather threat is unfolding. There is not much in the way of shower and thunderstorm activity ongoing across our area at present aside from a few spotty showers. However, as the strong cold front moves towards our forecast area a large amount of energy will be displaced. The atmospheric conditions are favorable for the threat of isolated tornadoes, strong damaging winds, and large hail through the hours into the overnight hours. The severe weather threat should end after midnight as much colder air takes over.
A Tornado Watch has been issued for much of SW Louisiana until 9p.m. This watch includes all of SE Texas and SW Louisiana into Central Louisiana. The only exlcusion is the Lafayette area and points S and E of there. They will likely be under a watch later on this evening and tonight.
Stay tuned throughout the afternoon and evening for more.
