A squall line is expected to develop and push through Northeast Louisiana early this afternoon, then pass through the state by 10:00pm tonight. Some supercell thunderstorms could develop ahead of that line, therefore increasing the risk for tornadoes if those supercells develop.
We encourage you to have multiple means of receiving weather warnings, and not to rely on a single source.
