Several supercells exploded in a confluence zone in southern LA and MS at around midnight local time, and rapidly became tornadic. This prompted the issuance of a second tornado watch for this area until 6:00 am CST. Given incredible low-level shear over this area as well, strong tornadoes appear likely. The watch graphic is displayed below, along with some radar images of an incredible supercell likely producing a tornado in MS as of 1:00 am.
The velocity couplet of the supercell straddling the LA/MS border northwest of New Orleans is hown below. This supercell is likely producing a tornado at the time of this image. The location of the potential tornado would likely be just to the east of the purple triangle in the image, near the interface of the green (winds toward the radar) and red (winds away from the radar) colors.
