    Areas affected...southern Arkansas...far east Texas...and much of
    western Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 20...

    Valid 041617Z - 041745Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 20 continues.

    SUMMARY...The damaging wind/tornado threat will continue through the
    morning and early afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A mature squall line has developed from southern
    Arkansas to far east Texas. Damaging wind gusts are the primary
    threat with this squall line, but several mesovorticies have also
    been observed across northern Louisiana. This portion of the line
    has now outrun the better low-level moisture and thus, any
    mesovorticies have been relatively weak and short lived. Expect this
    line of storms to continue east through the morning and into the
    early afternoon with a similar intensity.=20

    The greatest tornado threat during the next few hours will likely
    exist across southern and central Louisiana where mid to upper 60s
    dewpoints are in place with 500+ J/kg MLCAPE and 450 m2/s2 0-1km SRH
    (per POE VWP). If enough breaks in the clouds can sustain for
    temperatures to warm into the low 70s with 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE, an
    increase in the supercellular tornado threat may occur with a
    subsequent greater strong tornado threat.
