Severe Threat Shifted to North & East...

Yesterday I thought our severe weather opportunity over SE LA/MS would come between 3-6 PM and today I still feel that to be about right.  SPC has shifted their bullseye for highest risk away from us.   However, that does NOT mean we have no risk.

We still could see a line of strong storms develop ahead of a cold front that will sweep through after dark.  Notice though, SPC has moved the "hatched area" (greatest risk) away from us.   We will remain in the warm air sector all afternoon with plenty of low level moisture and turning winds with heights (wind shear) that could produce strong storms after 3 PM.  Monroe just reported a gust to 69 mph as the line of storms moved through.

The front will sweep away the clouds and humidity making Monday feel much nicer.  A secondary surge of cooler air won't arrive until later on Tuesday and we should see highs only in the 70s this week as the upper pattern flattens taking the upper trough away from the West coast centering more over the central US.

Night time lows should dip into the 40s for the North Shore so I hope you haven't put away all your jackets & sweaters?  On this Easter Sunday where flowers are blooming throughout the South, my oldest son's home in Colorado is white too!

Wherever you are, Happy Easter and stay home, stay healthy and stay tuned!  I may update later if severe storms approach.
