The radar

The Hammond radar (KHDC), 65 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:53 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Mar 15, 6:15 PM CDT	FLASH FLOOD	2 Nw New Orleans, LA	An underpass gauge measured 3.5 feet of water along Canal Boulevard near I-610.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 12:00Z, 10.9 hours before the alert went out and 50 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 15, 4:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
405 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Gradient southerly flow and falling pressures has prompted the
issuance of a High Wind Warning for the South Shore and a Wind
Advisory elsewhere through this evening.

Tornado Watch 45 remains in effect until 23Z although the threat
has diminished from earlier as the cell structures have mostly
aligned into a mostly multicellular mode as opposed to the more
discrete nature of earlier tornadic cells. Still may do a last
minute local extension for counties further east. Thermodynamic
and kinematic profiles are still favorable for severe storms
through 01-02Z this evening. The cold front is just behind the
back edge of the rain shield and will continue to advance quickly
eastward. The front should be cleared of the entire CWA by 03Z.
Increasing subsidence and drying will work in from west to east as
impressive dry-slotting works in from the west. Drier and cooler
conditions will persist through the remainder of the short-term
period. Will likely see some upper 30s across the northern areas
Sun night with widespread 40s elsewhere.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday night)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Dry and tranquil conditions will persist through Wed morning.
Moderating temps are expected by Tue as return flow develops.
This warming trend will continue into Wed in advance of the next
cold front by late Wed. Limited moisture return in advance of this
next front will keep POPs in the slight chance to chance range.
QPF amounts look to be less than one-quarter of an inch. This
second front looks to be slightly stronger than the one coming
through this evening. Will likely see below normal temps behind
this front with even more overnight lows in the 30s expected by
Fri morning.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Strong southerly gradient winds due to falling pressures and a LLJ
of 50-60 kt will prevail ahead of the line of storms. Brief
surface gusts to 40-45 kt will occur. Mainly MVFR ceilings are
expected along and ahead of the developing convection which
currently extends just east of a KMCB to KBTR line. Brief IFR
conditions will be possible within the showers and thunderstorms
as they move eastward this afternoon and early this evening. The
line of storms will clear the entire area by 02Z this evening.
Adjusted the convective timing similar to the last few HRRR runs
for all the TAF sites. Rapid drying due to a dry slot on the back
side of this synoptic system will promote clearing skies later
this afternoon and into tonight from west to east. As a result,
will go with VFR conditions developing quickly once the rain ends.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Gradient southerly flow has prompted a Gale Warning for the Lakes
as well as most of the coastal water this evening. Consistent
wind gusts to 40-50 kts will persist for the next several hours.
This will transition to an SCA as the convective band and front
push quickly through. Large seas over 10 feet will prevail for
most of the night for the offshore waters. A gradual subsidence
of seas and weakening of the gradient W/NW flow will occur later
tonight with that trend continuing on Monday. SCA conditions will
likely end by Mon evening over the offshore waters as high
pressure continues to settle into the area. May have some brief
SCA conditions on Wed ahead of the next front. Strong PGF and CAA
behind this second front will produce widespread SCA conditions
by Wed night into Thu as strong high pressure builds southward
into the coastal waters.
