The radar

The Mobile radar (KMOB), 9 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:32 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 severe thunderstorm 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, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 146 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.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 112 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

A rather unsettled and active pattern will come to a brief close
this week as a surface front slowly pushes offshore and stalls.
This afternoon will likely be the last of a rather active and
soggy period as a final shortwave works its way through the deep
south. This should be enough to kickoff scattered to numerous
storms over the next couple of hours before drier air works in and
the front fully clears the coast tonight. Rain chances should
decrease through the remainder of the week with high pressure
building over the area through the work week. The biggest change
you will likely notice is an unseasonably dry and "cooler"
conditions Wednesday through Friday as highs will drop into the
low 80s withs in the low 60s to possibly 50s well inland which is
roughly 10 degrees below normal. Unfortunately, this will likely
be short lived as moisture will quickly return by the weekend as
the upper ridge moves east. Deep Gulf moisture will surge
northward throughout the weekend and a more typical summertime
pattern will likely setup through the weekend and into early next
week. We will have to keep an eye on this weekend as the stalled
boundary slowly lifts northward on Sunday a period of more
widespread rain and potentially some heavier rain with NBM 95th
percentiles around 2 to 3 inches and PWATS climbing above 2
inches. This would likely not be a widespread threat but given we
are coming off our rainiest may on record and local saturated
grounds we may need to keep an eye for a localized potential
heavy rainfall threat to close out the weekend. Temperatures will
gradually increase throughout the period climbing back into the
mid to upper 80s by early next week. BB-8

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1206 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

VFR flight category prevails across the region through this
evening. Scattered to numerous showers and storms are expected
again today, with temporary reductions in ceiling and visibility
underneath any storms. Winds remain out of the north today,
shifting out of the east tonight as a back door cold front works
its way across the area. MM/25

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 112 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Northerly winds this afternoon will become more easterly by
tonight as a boundary slowly pushes further offshore. Small craft
conditions develop early Wednesday in the strengthening easterly
flow and persist through Thursday across the bays, waterways, and
Gulf waters while continuing through Friday for the far offshore
Gulf waters. Onshore flow develops Friday through the weekend.
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will be possible
each afternoon and elevated winds and seas will be possible with
any storms. BB-8 &&
