Thunderstorm Wind in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana

A tree down and fence damage was reported.

A stationary front was setup along the gulf coast on May 13th. High instability and progressive flow aloft ignited a storm complex over southeastern Texas during the mid afternoon hours. Those storms quickly formed into a linear complex that rode along the stationary boundary, favoring the thermal and instability gradient. The complex made its way across southern Louisiana, producing destructive straight-line winds with embedded tornadoes. The complex dove south into the Gulf of Mexico off of the Mississippi coast, favoring the instability where it continued to produces significant wind gusts before exiting the coastal waters.
