0747 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 261247Z - 261415Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...AN MCS WILL LIKELY PERSIST WHILE APPROACHING THE COAST BY
MID MORNING. ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE, BUT A WATCH
DOES NOT APPEAR NECESSARY.
DISCUSSION...AN MCS IS MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE/BUOYANCY GRADIENT ACROSS SOUTHERN MS AND
SOUTHEAST LA, SUPPORTED BY SUFFICIENT NORTHWESTERLY DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
TO KEEP CONVECTION UPRIGHT ALONG THE GUST FRONT. THE MCS MOTION
TOWARD THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST AT ABOUT 30 KT AND VELOCITY DATA FROM
KHDC SUGGEST MOSTLY 30-40 KT OUTFLOW GUSTS ARE PROBABLE, THOUGH
ISOLATED TREE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR WITH THE STRONGEST GUSTS. GIVEN ONLY
WEAK LOW-LEVEL FLOW NOTED IN REGIONAL VWPS, IT APPEARS UNLIKELY THAT
THESE STORMS WILL INTENSIFY SUBSTANTIALLY THIS MORNING. THUS, A
WATCH DOES NOT APPEAR NECESSARY.
