03/07/05 NOW: TX, AR, LA, MS, AL

[Larry J. Kosch]

I see there's a couple of SWWs posted for the Eastern TX, AR and LA states. Watches are set up to run from 1150 AM until 6 PM. No mention of any supercell or tornadic activity mentioned in either watches.

HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

Post your storm discussions here. Thanks. LJK.

Edit: New SWW box set up for MS and AL now.

Supercells are mentioned in discussion area for southernmost watch box. The new watch probability tables show 10% (low) probability for tornado activity: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0...w0043_prob.html

Storms look to be firing already, so I assume we're ok in a NOW thread...

Here's a couple of radar images I saved a few moments ago:





Gate to gate briefly reached 94 knots, at about the same time I saved those screen captures.
