The slight risk has been upgraded to a moderate risk for today for LA and MS, but a slight risk remains for the other gulf coast states. The tornado risk for the area is currently at 15%. The area is also currenlty under a tornado watch as a squall line makes its way eastward.

The SPC said this: SHEAR PROFILES ALREADY VERY FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE N/S SQUALL LINE NOW MOVING EWD ACROSS LWR MS VALLEY.  IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE 50-60KT LOW LEVEL JET OFF THE GULF WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT A CONTINUED THREAT OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS EWD ACROSS SERN LA/SRN MS INTO AT LEAST SWRN AL BY THIS EVENING.
