WW 6 TORNADO LA MS CW 150055Z - 150800Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 6 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 655 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Much of Louisiana Southwest Mississippi Coastal Waters * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 655 PM until 200 AM CST. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...A fast-moving line of thunderstorms will track eastward across the watch area through the evening. Conditions are favorable for a few intense storms embedded within the line, capable of tornadoes and damaging wind gusts. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles northeast of Monroe LA to 55 miles southwest of Intracoastal City LA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 5...

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1138 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST ALABAMA ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA...AND OVER MUCH OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN FLORIDA... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today across much of northern Florida and into parts of southern Georgia and Alabama. Wind damage as well as a tornado or two will be possible. ...Synopsis... A fast-moving shortwave trough will move across the Southeast today, with gradual filling/weakening. Moderate midlevel winds over 60 kt will spread across AL, GA and northern FL, enhancing deep-layer shear, while a weak surface low translates east/northeast from AL into the eastern Carolinas. South of the low, a warm front will stretch roughly from southern AL into the northeast Gulf Sunday morning, and will lift north into GA during the day and ahead of an approaching cold front. The combination of lift along the front, strong shear profiles and sufficient instability will likely result in scattered severe storms producing wind and perhaps a few tornadoes throughout the day. ...Southern AL and GA into the FL Panhandle/northern FL... A squall line is positioned from southwest MS into southeast LA late Saturday evening, coincident with the strong midlevel cooling with the upper wave. This line of storms is likely to progress eastward to at least the MS/AL border before 12Z, and perhaps even into central AL and the western FL Panhandle. Southerly surface winds will help bring mid 60s F dewpoints northward ahead of the line, though much of the area will maintain relatively marginal moisture with 50s F dewpoints until the squall line/cold front is near. Given the favorable synoptic lift and sufficient instability, the line of storms is likely to persist throughout the day, perhaps with renewed vigor as it travels across northern FL/southern GA during the peak heating hours. Even if the moisture is not particularly robust well inland, steeper boundary layer lapse rates combined with the linear storm mode and 30-40 kt winds just off the surface will support damaging gusts. For southern areas, higher dewpoints as well as 200+ m2/s2 effective SRH will support rotation with the line with a few QLCS tornadoes possible. ..Jewell/Supinie.. 02/15/2026 Read more

MD 0080 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 6... FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN/CENTRAL LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0080 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0902 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 Areas affected...Parts of southern/central Louisiana Concerning...Tornado Watch 6... Valid 150302Z - 150400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 6 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat will be maximized in parts of south-central Louisiana for the next couple hours -- within Tornado Watch #6. DISCUSSION...A north/south-oriented QLCS with embedded mesovorticies is tracking eastward into south-central LA at 35-40 kt. At least one or two brief tornadoes have accompanied these circulations near the Fort Polk, LA radar during the last hour. While pre-convective buoyancy remains limited, a narrow plume of middle/upper 60s dewpoints streaming northward ahead of the line will continue to destabilize the inflow for the approaching storms. This, combined with large clockwise-curved hodographs (around 300-400 m2/s2 low-level SRH), will continue to promote mesovorticies with a risk of tornadoes and locally enhanced wind damage. ..Weinman.. 02/15/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0079 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0623 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 Areas affected...Parts of the Middle and Upper Texas Coast Concerning...Tornado Watch 5... Valid 150023Z - 150230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 5 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of severe wind gusts and a couple tornadoes will continue eastward to the coast during the next few hours -- within Tornado Watch #5. DISCUSSION...The latest radar data from KHGX depicts an organized squall line moving eastward along a surface cold front at around 35-40 kt toward the Middle and Upper TX Coast. Ahead of the line, the HGX VWP is sampling a 40 kt low-level jet, which is contributing to large clockwise hodograph curvature (250-300 m2/s2 effective SRH). While the frontal forcing and 50-60 kt of line-parallel effective shear is promoting a continued linear mode (with a severe-wind risk), the ample streamwise vorticity and upper 60s to near 70 boundary-layer dewpoints is also favoring embedded circulations/supercell structures and a tornado risk. The risk of severe wind gusts and possibly a brief tornado or two will continue to the coast during the next few hours -- within Tornado Watch #5. ..Weinman.. 02/15/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 5 TORNADO LA TX CW 142150Z - 150300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 5 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 350 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Far Northwest Louisiana East and Southeast Texas Coastal Waters * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 350 PM until 900 PM CST. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A line of thunderstorms should gradually strengthen through the rest of the afternoon and persist into the evening as it moves across east/southeast Texas and into parts of Louisiana. Scattered severe/damaging winds up to 60-75 mph will be a concern, along with a few tornadic circulations embedded within the line. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles north northeast of Longview TX to 15 miles south southwest of Angleton TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MD 0078 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR MUCH OF LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI
Mesoscale Discussion 0078 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0602 PM CST Sat Feb 14 2026 Areas affected...Much of Louisiana into southwestern Mississippi Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 150002Z - 150200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...The severe threat will continue spreading eastward across Louisiana into southwestern Mississippi tonight. The primary concern will be a few tornadoes and damaging wind gusts. A downstream tornado watch will be issued in the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...An increasingly organized north/south-oriented squall line is tracking eastward along a surface cold front at around 30 kt in far eastern TX. Damaging gusts have been a concern with this activity -- given the primarily linear mode, though transient circulations have also posed a risk of brief tornadoes. Ahead of the line, the SHV and POE VWPs already show a large clockwise-curved hodograph (upwards of 300-350 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH). As a robust midlevel trough continues eastward, this wind profile will be maintained over the warm sector, with additional strengthening of the low-level jet possible. While buoyancy will remain somewhat limited with eastward extent, the favorable wind profile, strengthening low-level mass response, and moist pre-convective air mass will continue to favor an organized line with embedded mesovorticies and supercell structures. As a result, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes will be the primary concerns (and a strong tornado cannot be ruled out). A downstream tornado watch will be issued in the next hour or so. ..Weinman/Hart.. 02/15/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...JAN...LIX...LCH...SHV...
