    Mesoscale Discussion 2138

    0542 AM CDT Mon Oct 06 2025

    Areas affected...Southeast Louisiana into southern Mississippi.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 061042Z - 061215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few rotating showers/thunderstorms may persist for a few
    more hours.

    DISCUSSION...Moderate instability has pushed inland across southeast
    Louisiana and vicinity with tropical mid 70s dewpoints present. In
    addition, the low-level jet has strengthened to around 35 knots per
    KHDC VWP. This has resulted in a few showers and occasional
    thunderstorm development near the frontal zone along the Gulf Coast.
    RAP forecast soundings show very weak deep layer/effective shear,
    but some supercell characteristics have been observed on radar over
    the past hour with 2 observed TDSs. Therefore, the stronger shear
    between the LCL/EL (35 knots) must be sufficient for some updraft
    rotation. Transient rotating updrafts and clockwise turning winds in
    the lowest km have been apparently sufficient for a few brief
    tornadoes. In addition, the low-level jet is significantly stronger
    than forecast by most guidance. This low-level jet has weakened
    slightly over the past hour on the KHDC VWP and should continue to
    slowly weaken through the morning. Given the already borderline
    environment these showers/storms have developed within, expect this
    modest reduction in the low-level jet to bring an end to the threat
    by daybreak.
