What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Mar 22, 3:42 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 22, 3:42 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
342 PM CDT Tue Mar 22 2022

.. MESOSCALE UPDATE 4 PM...
There have been some interesting trends developing in the most
recent HRRR models and the satellite features. Mainly of note is
the continued presence of a surface low further south than
anticipated yesterday and this feature is still evident in the
models and the surface winds and observations. The LL 850 jet is
now squarely over our area encompassing all of SE LA, S MS, and
some of coastal MS. The most recent runs of the CAMS are less
excited about the discrete cells ahead of the line and are
refocusing on the squall line itself. There are showers ahead of
the line but they are barely producing any lightning. The 18z
sounding still shows that we have no cap and plenty of
instability, as well as plenty of strength and directional shear.

It seems that the main limiting factor is deep layer lift. Even
the front is behind the main line with the deep lift back in
eastern Texas. As well, the dry air intrusion seen on water vapor
could be hindering any deep development in the squall line.

Overall, we have to keep monitoring this line as it moves into a
favorable environment for damaging wind gusts and brief tornadoes
embedded within the line. The main threat may end up being flash
flooding if this line continues to train more SW to NE. As well,
the winds outside of thunderstorms are continuing to increase with
wind gusts of 40-50 MPH across the area.

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...

The front and associated thunderstorms will continue to move
through the MS counties overnight and be out of the southern MS
counties by sunrise on Wednesday. While the deep upper trough
won't come through until Wednesday night, we'll see the effects of
the cold front tonight through Thursday. Lows tonight will drop
into the upper 40s to middle 50s. Wednesday will be dry and mostly
sunny with highs in the lower to upper 60s. While the deeper
trough starts to come through with clear skies, lows Wed night
will be in the lower 40s to the north and lower 50s along the
coast. Temps will warm slightly Thursday but lows will stay
similar to Wed night lows.

Long Term (Friday through Tuesday)...

Upper ridging will remain primarily over the Rockies through the
weekend with heights slightly rising over the local area. At the
surface, high pressure over the Plains States Friday morning will
gradually work eastward and be centered off the east coast of
Florida by Monday. With no significant onshore winds until at
least Monday, if that soon, the threat of precipitation will be
very low through at least Tuesday.

With dry air in place, morning lows this weekend will be on the cool
side, roughly 5-8F below normal for several mornings. Highs likely
to be pretty close to normal through the weekend, then as onshore
flow returns on Monday, it should lead to high temperatures moving
into the 80s for midweek next week.

AVIATION...
Gusty southeast winds with sustained 20+ knots and gusts exceeding
30 knots. While SHRA could occur at any time, will limit TSRA for
now, to a 2 hour window with main band of convection. Localized IFR
and potential for gusts exceeding 40 knots with main band of
convection. Improvement will occur several hours behind main
convection.

MARINE...Small Craft Advisory will remain as posted. Winds will
continue to increase through the day today then shift to W and
remain elevated on the back side of the front swinging through early
Wednesday, and will slowly ease going into Wednesday
afternoon/night. Some extension of the advisory may be possible if
waves/seas remain elevated. Surface winds remain breezy through late-
week, but nothing significant in regards to impacts even going into
early parts of next weekend.
