Tornado Watch Issued For Gulf Coast States Effective Now Through This Evening



National Weather Force has issued a Tornado Watch for Eastern Louisiana, Southern Mississippi and Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle, effective now through 8pm this evening.  A surface low out of Texas yesterday will bring in a strong southeast backing surface flow into the watch area.  This will work with unidirectional shear to produce supercells within the region ahead and along a frontal zone moving across Louisiana now.

National Weather Force tornado forecast models do show the strongest activity being along the coast of the areas mentioned above, be it a landfalling waterspout or so with a strength of EF0-2 in dynamics.

In addition to the tornado threat, large hail and damaging winds as well as localized flooding will hit the region.
