Here is an update from our partners at the New Orleans and Baton Rouge NWS.
Main Takeaways:
- Slight Risk over much of the area for tomorrow. All modes of severe weather will be possible.
- Uncertainty with timing as line could be faster or slower depending on if it is solid or broken over eastern TX and western LA overnight tonight.
- Possibility of the line slowing up, especially if it is a broken line which would drastically increase the heavy rain threat.
