YOU CAN SEE HERE RIGHT ABOUT NOW, AGAIN, THE STRONG STORM CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND IT IS PICKING UP SOME HEAVY, HEAVY RAINFALL IN SOME CASES THROUGH THE AREA. ALL RIGHT.

LOOK AT THE STRONG UPDRAFTS MOVING UP INTO THE STORM. IT ALSO HAS A PRETTY GOOD ROTATION RIGHT INTO THIS THIS LITTLE NOTCH RIGHT HERE. AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE GET RIGHT OVER TO BY SHERATON AND WHITE CASTLE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT IN THE RAINFALL THAT WE’RE HAVING RIGHT NOW.

Tracking Storms This Sunday Evening
Tracking Storms since late afternoon, today. In fact the first round of storms really to hold on north central LaFourche and Terrebonne Parishes -- into the early evening. Wind gust of 60 mph, hail size from a nickel to half dollar was reported, and strong to extreme rotation helped to merge three different cells into a singular over Terrebonne Parish. Two severe storm warnings were issued as well as marginal risk for severe weather from the WPC. All had expired from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., today. However, an outflow boundary was generated from the storm's downdraft that pushed over Metro New Orleans and crossed Lake Pontchartrain. Now this outflow boundary around the 7 p.m. hour has converged with an outflow boundary from the east that is associated with a line of storms out of Pascagoula. These storms swept over Coastal Mississippi that prompted a marine warning as it touched over the gulf. The northern portion of the storm, as well as the northern part of the outflow boundary has developed new storm activity over Kiln, Picayune and is currently tracking toward Stennis Space Center. All of these conditions are fairly similar to last night's storm activities. A new outflow boundary is now sweeping westward through northern Washington Parish straight down into Slidell. This will collide with another outflow boundary out of current storms over Franklin, LA. This convergence will be between Mandeville, Lacombe and Slidell. This will also develop more showers and potential storms into the late evening hours.
