Prepping for a Late Weekend Cold Front

By Jay Grymes

There are still some timing issues regarding the forecast confidence (with the action more than 48 hours out), but confidence is increasing with regard to the upcoming Sunday/Monday frontal passage.

The storm system comes with a low-end severe threat ... the SPC currently indicates that the threat will be higher for the northern parishes ("SLIGHT Risk", 2-out-of-5 on the threat scale) and a bit lower ("MARGINAL Risk", 1-out-of-5) for southern parishes.  Note that these threat levels/areas are still subject to minor change(s).
