Yep this is a Bust which is good news they really need to quit hyping these events up

I wouldnt say the threat is going down. It all depends on how it works out. If the line can surge out ahead in places, that is where it may break apart and become semi-discrete supercells. This setup reminds me of the one thst caused the Centerpoint AL, tornado in 2012. It was mostly a squall line but one storm was able to become a semi-discrete cell and dropped the tornado before going back into a line.
 
Have there been any severe storms yet? Were there supposed to be some during the day, or is it not supposed to begin until later tonight?

Back for the first time since last winter- what do y’all have? Chuck, we gonna get deuced on?

Phil is back in the house ! I think we are good in our area. The best chance for a few supercells seems to be over the extreme nW corner of the state. Will
Most likely be linear by the time it gets to us

Areas affected...northern Louisiana...eastern Arkansas...northern
Mississippi and western Tennessee

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 052138Z - 052345Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Storms are expected to increase in coverage mainly after
23-00Z across northern Louisiana and eastern Arkansas, and will gain
strength as they develop eastward into northern Mississippi and
Tennessee during the evening. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be
possible.

DISCUSSION...The air mass across east TX and the lower MS Valley
continues to destabilize via both low-level theta-e advection
associated with a warm front, and mixing of the boundary layer aided
by pockets of heating. As of 21Z, the most unstable air was located
over southeast TX, where 70s F dewpoints and strong heating exist.

18Z soundings indicate a substantial midlevel inversion which is
limiting instability. This inversion will weaken somewhat this
evening as a strong jet max noses into AR, northern MS and western
TN, providing cooling aloft.

Currently, scattered convective showers exist near the instability
axis over east TX and northwest LA, but they are shallow with no
lightning due to the warm midlevel temperatures. However, they are
already rotating. Farther north, a band of ascent was evident on
radar from the ArkLaTex into central AR, with gradually warming
temperatures south of that area.

Over the next several hours, both these areas will likely
consolidate into thunderstorms across northern LA and southern AR,
and may mature into northern MS and western TN this evening. Shear
profiles will continue to increase as the low-level jet intensifies
to over 50 kt. Hodographs will strongly favor supercells,
potentially tornadic, but storms may eventually transition to a
QLCS. Therefore, both damaging winds and tornadoes will be possible.
The greatest threat is likely to exist east of the MS river and
after 03Z, when lift, shear, and low-level moisture are maximized.

Looks like first confirmed tornado just north Montgomery, Lousiana.
At 414 PM CST, a confirmed tornado was located near Natchitoches,
moving northeast at 35 mph.

HAZARD...Damaging tornado.

SOURCE...Law enforcement confirmed tornado.
This tornadic thunderstorm will remain over mainly rural areas of
northwestern Grant...central Natchitoches and southwestern Winn
Parishes, including the following locations... St. Maurice, Natchez
and Clarence.
