The radar
The Hammond radar (KHDC), 84 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 12:03 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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, 0.0 hours before the alert went out and 59 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 National Weather Service New Orleans LA 534 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 446 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026 - Well above average high temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s will occur next week. Heat index values will climb into the upper 90s. - The threat for thunderstorms, some possible strong to severe will continue through the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Now through Tuesday) Issued at 1031 PM CDT Fri Apr 24 2026 The first of several rounds of sh/ts is upon us this morning. Another line is moving in from the Shreveport area this morning as well. Any of these storms could produce strong winds and hail with an isolated tornado possible as well. Today will be an off an on event for sh/ts, basically there will likely be sh/ts forming or decaying at all hours of the day today. We should see the next complex of storms develop over the Oklahoma to Texarkana region and race SE tonight into Sun morning reaching our area around mid morning Sun. By Monday, the weakness(ThetaE) boundary will have moved farther north while the front out west begins to slowly move this way. This makes Monday dry in comparison to the weekend. As the front gets closer, it will be responsible for the next set of sh/ts that develop starting Tue. We can unravel Tue as we get closer to it. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through Friday night) Issued at 1031 PM CDT Fri Apr 24 2026 Overall, going into the midweek next week the upper level flow remains progressive and the low level flow remains southerly onshore as high pressure remains over the eastern Gulf with upper level ridging taking shape over the western Gulf. Because of the higher heights and thicknesses the well above average temperatures (even close to records for a few) will continue into the long term period. That said, going into Wednesday and especially Wednesday night and Thursday there looks to be a modest pattern flip. A more northwest flow develops, which will bring the surface front southward toward our region leading to increased POPs going into late next week. Behind the front there looks to be some decrease in temperatures to more average ranges, especially as a broader upper trough becomes established over much of the central and eastern states. (Frye) && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 446 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026 Storms that move over terminals this morning will likely produce IFR or lower conditions with cigs and vis. Some of these, although isolated, could have strong winds and hail. Disturbed weather all day today will have sh/ts around at any given time. Outside this activity conditions will be VFR. && .MARINE... Issued at 1031 PM CDT Fri Apr 24 2026 A very early Summer like weather set up will keep a persistent south- southeast flow of 10 to 15 knots in place through the middle of next week. Seas will remain well below any hazardous limits at 1 to 3 feet through the period. The greatest concern and unknown is any shower or thunderstorm impacts. A series of disturbances will try to produce an area of storms over the Red River area and these may move towards the coastal waters before they dissipate. If they develop, these specific type of systems normally do not play well with the models and they usually surge southeast faster and stronger than expected. If they do, expect locally higher winds and seas around these storms. Afterwards, winds may become light and variable for 3- 6 hours before the synoptic south-southeast winds take back over. && .LIX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... LA...None. GM...None. MS...None.
