Just a quick breakdown this morning as I’m running a bit behind and you guys are probably more interested in how the weather will impact weekend plans than you are interested in reading about the quirks of the atmosphere!
In short: I don’t think USM plays much baseball this afternoon and I think anyone with outdoor plans this afternoon is likely to get a bit soggy. Tomorrow, it looks like any rain will be a bit later at night. And Sunday it looks like an early afternoon chunk of storms.
Severe weather is possible with each go-around, but I think the best bet for severe weather is likely going to be today (with hail and gusty wind as the main concern) and Sunday (wind, hail and a few brief tornadoes).
That said, I think today, across parts of Louisiana and into coastal Mississippi we may have a brief window for a tornado or two this afternoon / evening as storms develop back to the west along the tail-end of the line.
