5/13 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Severe Weather” Monday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Overview:

• Severe Thunderstorm watch still in place for coastal MS and coastal southeast LA. 
• Possible Wake Low trying to develop behind the storms

Hazards:

• All modes of severe weather are still possible however the severe risk is decreasing.
• Flash Flood risk will decrease if as long as additional thunderstorms do not try to move back into the area from the southwest which look unlikely thus we will be trimming the Flash Flood Watch. 
• Last concern is the possible Wake Low that may be developing on the backside of the storms. Not confident this is occurring but we have had a few very strong wind gusts out of the north well after the storms moved through. If this does continue to try to develop there could be a few locations that see a brief period of winds possibly approaching 60 mph. 

Confidence:

Confidence is increasing that the worst of the impacts have likely passed however there is still some risk for a few severe reports, locally heavy rain, and gusty winds behind the storms through midnight. After that the impacts expected should be fairly low. 

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.
