A few tornado warnings have already been issued in the eastern parts of Louisiana, one of which was located around Noble and Zwolle in Sabine Parrish around 4:25 pm. More supercellular thunderstorms are forming over parts of northwestern Louisiana and into eastern Texas.
The first Tornado Watch of this severe weather event has been issued out to our west for the northern parts of Louisiana, extreme southeastern Arkansas, west-central Mississippi, and parts of eastern Texas.
Storms are expected to increase in coverage mainly after 23-00Z across northern Louisiana and eastern Arkansas, and will gain strength as they develop eastward into northern Mississippi and Tennessee during the evening. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be possible.
ACTIVE NIGHT AHEAD: Not much change in the overall thinking concerning tonight’s weather across Alabama; dynamic weather system will bring the threat of strong to severe storms to the northern counties of the state, mainly after midnight.

THE STORMS OF NOVEMBER: We are now in the late fall severe weather season in Alabama… and we do have a threat of strong to severe thunderstorms over North Alabama late tonight into early tomorrow. But, before the storms arrive, today looks fairly quiet. The sky will feature more clouds than sun, but most of the day will be dry with a high around 70 degrees this afternoon.
