* SUMMARY...

  Severe thunderstorms capable of strong/damaging wind gusts and

  possibility of strong tornadoes and a significant nighttime

  severe weather risk for southeast Louisiana, southern

Preparedness actions...



Tornadoes at night can be particularly dangerous because they 

are usually fast-moving and difficult to see. Stay tuned to

NOAA Weather Radio, weather.gov, or other media for watches and

warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable

for tornadoes to form during the next several hours. If a tornado

warning is issued for your area, move to a place of safety,

ideally in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a

sturdy building.
