Areas affected...northeast LA into central MS

Concerning...Tornado Watch 572...

Valid 292028Z - 292230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 572 continues.

SUMMARY...Increasing potential for severe thunderstorms and
tornadoes exists across northeast LA into central MS over the next
few hours.

DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis indicates a corridor of
enhanced severe thunderstorm and tornado potential is in place
across northeast LA into central MS. This area has experienced
pockets of broken clouds and stronger heating, resulting in
temperatures around 75-79 F amid surface dewpoints in the 68-71 F
range. This is aiding a local max in low-level instability and STP
values have increased between 3 to 4. Regional VWP data continue to
show enlarged, favorably curved hodographs and 0-1 km SRH values
greater than 250 m2/s2. As convection spreads east/northeast into
this area, increasing potential for tornadic supercells will exist.
