It is our secondary severe weather season, which occurs in fall here. Locally, we have already had one round of severe weather this season, but as the season wears on, and the battle between summer and winter becomes more intense, we should see more. Today, the slight risk for severe weather exists in Louisiana and Mississippi with a tornado watch already presenting itself covering most of Louisiana (feel free to click on the graphic here for updates). It should mostly only amount to some thunderstorms by the time it makes its way over here.
Interestingly, the storm working its way across the southern states are, in part, the remnants of once category 5 Hurricane Rick from the eastern Pacific. Tropical Storm Rick made landfall in Mexico and traveled across Texas dropping buckets of rain on the now quite water-logged areas.
Of course, moisture feed off the Gulf of Mexico has now merged with the now remnant low to make a severe weather event in the south. Incidentally, there are two areas being watched in the Atlantic basin with a low likelihood of development. Hurricane season is not over yet, folks.
