Areas affected...Parts of southern/central Louisiana

Concerning...Tornado Watch 6...

Valid 150302Z - 150400Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 6 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat will be maximized in parts of
south-central Louisiana for the next couple hours -- within Tornado
Watch #6.

DISCUSSION...A north/south-oriented QLCS with embedded mesovorticies
is tracking eastward into south-central LA at 35-40 kt. At least one
or two brief tornadoes have accompanied these circulations near the
Fort Polk, LA radar during the last hour. While pre-convective
buoyancy remains limited, a narrow plume of middle/upper 60s
dewpoints streaming northward ahead of the line will continue to
destabilize the inflow for the approaching storms. This, combined
with large clockwise-curved hodographs (around 300-400 m2/s2
low-level SRH), will continue to promote mesovorticies with a risk
of tornadoes and locally enhanced wind damage.
