NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0616 AM CDT Mon Mar 31 2025
Areas affected...central/southern MS into southeast LA
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 83...84...
Valid 311116Z - 311245Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 83, 84
continues.
SUMMARY...A line of convection will continue shifting east/southeast
across central/southern Mississippi and southeast Louisiana this
morning, posing a risk for damaging wind gusts.
DISCUSSION...A robust line of convection, with embedded bowing
elements, will continue to shift east/southeast across the MCD area
this morning. A recent gust of at least 65 mph was noted at KJAN
with the northern bowing segment. A couple of intense bowing
segments have occasionally been noted across parts of south-central
LA. This activity is expected to continue producing severe/damaging
gusts with eastward extent through the morning given favorable
downstream instability and an increasing 850 mb southwesterly
low-level jet. Regional VWP data do indicated some modestly enlarged
low-level hodographs. However, 0-1 km shear is fairly weak, around
15-25 kt amid poor low-level lapse rates. This should temper the
tornado risk, though a brief spin-up could occur given the very
moist boundary layer and at least modest low-level instability.
