*_400 PM CDT Tue March 21 2022_*
*GOHSEP is monitoring the threat of severe weather across the state
starting tonight and through tomorrow. Strong to severe thunderstorms
are expected to develop over portions of east Texas this afternoon and
gradually track eastward into western Louisiana by late this afternoon
and into the overnight hours. Eventually this activity will congeal into
a squall line as it moves towards our area. *
*All modes of severe weather will be possible as storms first initiate
this afternoon but should bring more of a damaging wind and embedded
tornado risk at the line moves through the region during the evening and
overnight hours. The line of thunderstorms is expected to slow as it
moves through the region, which will greatly increase the potential for
Flash Flooding from training storms during the overnight hours. *
*There is currently a MODERATE RISK (level 4 out of 5) of Severe Weather
Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the greatest threat along/north of
I-12, especially in southwest MS and adjacent LA parishes. *
