Severe storms and tornado threats have affected the Gulf Coast, including areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The National Weather Service has issued multiple tornado watches and warnings for these regions. The storms have caused blinding rain, frequent lightning, hail, and strong rotation, posing risks for brief tornadoes. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions. The situation has led to treacherous driving conditions and flood advisories in New Orleans. The storms have also prompted tornado warnings in northern Florida, particularly in the Jacksonville area.

The far northern/northwest parts of the Jacksonville metro area, into Fernandina Beach, need to pay attention to the #tornado warned storm to the west. It'll be heading into far northern Duval and Nassau if it holds up. #JAXwx #FLwx https://t.co/1X2Zlb4pEg

Stormy morning in Metro #NewOrleans. The drive in to the airport from Bay Saint Louis was treacherous. Hit some cells where I couldn't see 5 meters ahead. Drove slowly with the hazards on much of the way. (& it's not like I'm a newbie when it comes to driving in bad conditions.)

A brief tornado is possible along the Gulf Coast overnight as convection moves inland… https://t.co/SfeSzNrBkS
The #tornado threat is increasing over SE Louisiana and the MS Gulf Coast as we go into the late evening hours. The supercells coming ashore could produce a more pronounced threat, including in Greater New Orleans. #LAwx #NOLA #MSwx https://t.co/OD35whhfO6
This storm continues to strengthen near Supreme and Labadieville. Hail is likely to be quite large and there is some rotation as it moves over the bayous. #LAwx https://t.co/hBO0B0jDBQ
Here are some locations in the path of the now #severe warned storm. I'd really monitor it in LaPlace. #LAwx https://t.co/KSVA4X7G4I
This storm west of Thibodaux is catching my eye. It’s not warned but rotation is starting to increase. It could track towards the #NOLA area in the next 60-90 minutes. #LAwx https://t.co/cLPu52Sl3k
LATE TONIGHT: Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will ultimately evolve along the central Gulf Coast late tonight, and embedded supercells may pose at least some risk for a few brief tornadoes.

If you're along the Gulf Coast or just inland from SE Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle, you probably should have your weather radio on tonight - just in case. There will be at least some #tornado threat with the strongest storms, mainly overnight. #LAwx #MSwx #ALwx #FLwx https://t.co/Hrbeg7gQCl
