Low instability affects severe weather event

By Jerry Strahan

This would have been a significant severe weather event Thursday if it weren’t for instability being so low, but the kinetics are there for it. Thankfully cooling aloft will stop most destabilization and prevent anymore instability, just looks to be a marginal event. We could get upgraded to a slight risk if instability uptrends. Keep an eye on the weather for Webster Parish.
