Areas affected...East Texas...Northwest Louisiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 77...

Valid 310258Z - 310500Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 77
continues.

SUMMARY...A severe threat will likely continue for several more
hours across parts of east Texas. Northwest Louisiana will likely be
affected. Large hail and wind damage will be the primary threats. A
local watch extension may become necessary.

DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar imagery from
Shreveport shows a severe convective cluster of east Texas. The
cluster is located within a moderately unstable airmass, where the
RAP is analyzing MLCAPE in the 2000 to 2500 J/kg range. The
convection is likely being supported by a subtle shortwave trough,
which is evident on water vapory over east Texas. The latest
Shreveport WSR-88D VWP has 0-6 km shear around 40 knots with
directional shear in the lowest 2 Km AGL. In addition, RAP forecast
soundings in far east Texas have 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7 C/km.
This will support supercell development, with large hail potential.
Supercells will also be capable of producing isolated damaging wind
gusts. The latest short-term model forecasts increase convective
coverage over east Texas, and move the developing cluster into
western Louisiana. This will likely be in association with warm air
advection. For this reason, the severe threat is expected to
continue into the overnight period.
