URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 101
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
600 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

  Southeast Louisiana
  Central and Southern Mississippi
  Coastal Waters

* Effective this Wednesday morning and afternoon from 600 AM

* Primary threats include...
  A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible

SUMMARY...A destabilizing airmass across the central Gulf Coast will
support an increasing severe thunderstorm and tornado risk this
morning into the midday.  The tornado risk will likely maximize with
any supercells that develop within the warm sector as the marine
warm front advances northward.  A squall line will move west to east
across the area with a risk for damaging gusts and the tornado risk
will likely focus with any sustained mesovortex or embedded
supercell.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles
east and west of a line from 95 miles northwest of Meridian MS to 45
miles west southwest of Boothville LA. For a complete depiction of
the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
