A severe weather threat is still expected for East Texas, much of Louisiana, and West Mississippi Tuesday into Wednesday.
A storm system is going to track out of the Plains and and across the Midwest, bringing a trailing cold front east.
Storms are anticpated to initiate/develop over East Texas along/ahead of the front Tuesday afternoon and progress across Louisiana and Mississippi Tuesday night into early Wednesday (and possibly merge into a squall-line).
There will be a risk for severe weather.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a “slight risk” for severe weather for East Texas, much of Louisiana, and into Northwest Mississippi, and a “marginal risk” area encompassing the “slight risk” area (see figure 1).
As of now, damaging wind gusts and large hail look to be the primary threats. A brief, isolated tornado or two could be possible, though.
Later in the day Wednesday, storms will advance into the remainder of Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle as the front continues east. However, any severe weather potential is uncertain as of now.
