This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Southeast
Louisiana...South Mississippi and the adjacent coastal waters.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected across much of
the area Friday afternoon. While the risk of widespread severe
weather is low, a few storms could become strong, producing gusty
winds, frequent lightning, small hail and brief periods of heavy
rain.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A strong spring storm system will bring a threat of severe
weather across the area Saturday afternoon through Saturday
night. The greatest threat will generally be across areas
along and northwest of a line from Baton Rouge to McComb. All
modes of severe weather will be possible with damaging winds and
tornadoes being the main hazards. Be sure to monitor the forecast
for any updates and changes regarding this threat.

Additionally, strong winds are expected outside of the
thunderstorms on Saturday. Sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph with
higher gusts are possible. These winds could down small tree
limbs leading to isolated power outages, and also make driving
difficult mainly on bridges and elevated roadways. A wind advisory
may be necessary for at least a portion of the area Saturday
afternoon.

Moderate to strong winds and rough seas are expected to lead to
hazardous conditions across the coastal waters Saturday through
Monday. Exercise caution headlines and small craft advisories
will likely be necessary.
