The wider storm
Showers and thunderstorms draped along a cold front in northern Louisiana began racing southeastward late morning on March 15th. Based on local upper air soundings, these storms were moving into an environment with ample mid and upper level instability. In the lower levels, a region of dry air was noted in the midday sounding. That dry slot enhanced downward winds resulting in several wind damage reports across southeast Louisiana.
Began near Gonzales Bishop Arpt (30.2200, -90.8600).
