Compton tornado (I believe the first one)
I'm recanting my statement from a few days ago. Best tornado threat is in Texas for Friday. Tmrw is Oklahoma and Texas.Tomorrow is definitely one of those tricky setups, and the SPC themselves are admitting it's a low-confidence forecast. The GFS is showing a potent tornado threat developing in northeastern Louisiana (as @ashtonlemleywx pointed out), while the HRRR extends that out to the Mississippi Delta and the CIPS is showing the largest tornado threat materializing near the MRGL risk area in northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska.
Good that north Louisiana is in the clear, because I don’t want to have to stare at this for any longer than I have to. The longer I do, the angrier I get that there isn’t a radar in this area and in north Mississippi.I'm recanting my statement from a few days ago. Best tornado threat is in Texas for Friday.

I think if anything Southeastern Louisiana and MS Gulf Coast have higher chance than North Louisiana, but I think those will primarily be hailers.
I wouldn't be too concerned with that. It will just be a South moving small bow structure with maybe some small hail and gusty wind. If I thought it was going to doing something crazy, I would already be down there sitting in Tallulah, LA.Good that north Louisiana is in the clear, because I don’t want to have to stare at this for any longer than I have to.

I was mainly referring to the fact that it looks like a splotch of puke because it's in a Radar Hole™, but as long as it doesn't pose a huge severe threat, I suppose there's a silver lining for now.I wouldn't be too concerned with that.

They could really use an upgrade to WSR-88D. Even JAN's radar (which provides the best scans of northwestern LA, but that's not really saying much) kinda sucks too because new scans only come in every six to eight minutes or so.That radar in Monroe Louisiana is absolutely worthless.

I guess that explains why I didn't even know it was there until you pointed it out to me just now. Pretty difficult to get a scan from a non-functional radar that's probably held together with scotch tape and positive thinking.View attachment 20253
Apparently its 88D equivalent. The probably is that its not functional and most of the time just isn't working. Go to the website and last radar image is from February.
