February 14-15th severe WX

Interestingly, low-level kinematics aren't overly-impressive looking, and thermodynamics are paltry. Seems like our QLCS' proximity to the front is doing the heavy lifting here. Might be worth keeping in mind as this system scrapes along the Gulf Coast - we could see it overperform expectations if this is any indicator of what the rest of this system will be like.

6 tornado warnings covering the Shreveport radar. Ain't seen anything like that since the Memphis radar on the day broyles pulled the high risk and everybody thought he was a dummy lol

One thing's for certain - I do not envy warning forecasters at LCH and SHV right now.
 
If a squall line has had a history of producing tornadoes and/or has clear signs of rotation embedded within, then I agree with going tornado warning instead of severe thunderstorm.

Yeah, not sure what the original poster on Twitter is getting in such a huff about. I remember Spann discussing how a warning dedicated to QLCS/spin-up tornadoes may be beneficial (and I'm not really that much of a fan of the SVR, Tornado Possible warnings), but getting up in arms about issuing warnings while an event is ongoing seems... like a choice. It's clear there's been several tornadoes already, anyway, so the premise that none of the TORs verified is bogus on its own.

Yeah, seems out of left field for him.

Meanwhile, storms are still very much capable of producing. Some storms are going to be drifting into the SW MS radar hole, so it'll be harder to suss out storms close to the ground, but above the ground they are still very much spinning.
