Valid 090006Z - 090130Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 32 continues.
SUMMARY...The most appreciable tornado risk ---featuring the
possibility for a couple of tornadoes--- will be focused across far
northern parts of southeast LA into southern MS during the 6-8 pm
period as the wind profile gradually strengthens amidst a
moist/adequately unstable airmass and supercellular mode is probably
maintained.
DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows 66-68 deg F dewpoints residing
across the warm sector over southeast LA into southern MS. The
Slidell, LA (KLIX) VAD data shows a gradual strengthening in the
wind profile mainly in the 1-3 km layer. Although buoyancy will
slowly lessen through the evening, around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE is
currently analyzed per objective analysis. The combination of a
moist boundary layer, moderate buoyancy, and supercellular mode
suggest a continuation and perhaps increase of the tornado risk
through 8 pm across parts of southern MS to near the LA/MS border
north of Lake Pontchartrain.
