Areas affected...east TX...western LA...and far southwest AR

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 181841Z - 182045Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Increasing potential for a couple tornadic supercells
should occur by late afternoon as warm-sector storms intensify ahead
of a outflow-reinforced cold front. A tornado watch may be needed.

DISCUSSION...As surface temperatures have warmed into the mid 80s as
far northeast as the greater Houston Metro Area, warm-sector showers
have deepened downstream within the warm conveyor across southeast
TX. A 17Z sounding from Texas A&M at CLL well sampled the
pre-frontal environment ahead of the outflow-reinforced cold front
that has been marching east across east TX. While tropospheric lapse
rates are weak, enhanced low-level shear persists where surface
winds remain slightly backed ahead of the front (as shown in the 18Z
LCH/SHV soundings). Surface winds/low-level flow have slowly veered
farther southwest (where temperatures are warmer) per HGX VWP data,
suggesting that initial storms might struggle to produce low-level
mesocyclones until convection spreads farther northeast. The
undercutting nature of the front will also limit tornado potential
after passage. The more favorable kinematic/thermodynamic
environment will probably become centered across the Sabine Valley
in the next couple hours. This corridor will be monitored for a
possible tornado watch.
