Moderate Risk Issued
* Still watching the radar closely. Severe thunderstorms are in progress across northern Louisiana, some of these are producing tornado warnings. Once cell in particular looks very strong, right along I-20 east of Shreveport. These will continue to move eastward.* The SPC has placed us under a "Moderate" risk of severe weather. Don't let the word moderate fool you; this level of risk is relatively rare and implies a serious situation. Here's the Moderate Risk:
SPC Day 1 Outlook
* Tornado watches are in effect for parts of southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana. These will likely be shifted eastward throughout the early morning.
* Just spoke with Derek Kinkade. He's heading for Monroe, Louisiana to intercept the storms as they move through northern Louisiana. He reports frequent lightning to his west. I'll stay in touch with Derek and pass along his updates...
* The storms won't get here for another 3-5 hours. I'm going to try and snag a quick power nap here at the station. Will post as the situation warrants...
