...



At 1106 AM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of strong

thunderstorms capable of producing waterspouts over marine areas

along a line extending from near Port Fourchon to 15 miles southwest

of Empire. Movement was north at 30 mph.



HAZARD...Waterspouts and winds in excess of 40 mph.



SOURCE...Radar indicated.



IMPACT...Waterspouts can easily overturn boats and create locally 

         hazardous waters. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs 

         and blow around unsecured objects.



Locations impacted include...

Leeville, Grand Isle, Port Fourchon, and Golden Meadow.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. 



Torrential rainfall is also occurring with these storms and may lead

to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded

roadways.



If on or near marine areas, get out of the water and move indoors or

inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles from

the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close

enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be

caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
