A county-by-county breakdown of the significant – in both spread and intensity – severe weather potential Tuesday/Wednesday across the Southern MS/AL/LA region

The SPC has highlighted the region with a Risk for severe weather on Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. The highest risk is across parts of Louisiana and western Mississippi where a Moderate Risk, that is a “4” on the 1-to-5 scale where “5” is the highest risk for the most significant severe weather, has been issued.

I could dive into all the stats and the numbers, but sadly, I don’t have a ton of time this morning and I spent most of it writing the county-by-county breakdown below. I will do one in the coming 24 hours, but not this morning.

Suffice to say, though, that this is a particularly potent setup. While not everyone will see severe weather, the chance that each next person sees a severe storms is higher Tuesday than it was last week. By a lot.

The average historical risk for a severe storm is around two-percent, according to the SPC.

According to the SPC, Tuesday the risk is 45-percent. or about 22-times higher than average. And the hatched area indicates that not only is severe weather possible, but the SPC is concerned about significant severe weather (wind in excess of 70mph, hail greater than 2″ or a tornado stronger than EF-2) occurring.

The parameter space is definitely conducive for the potential for severe weather. But remember that a potential doesn’t mean a guarantee. There are things that may shake out to limit the threat for some areas while enhancing the risk for others. All of those things will be hashed out during the next 48 hours.



County-by-County Timeline

Things are still pretty far out so I cast a pretty wide net here with the timeline. Please- PLEASE! – check back for updates as this timeline is likely to change. Not “could change” but likely to change. Not by a ton but by a few hours here and there.
