    Areas affected...portions of eastern TX...northern LA...western
    MS...far southeast AR

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

    Valid 310539Z - 310745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Continued/developing severe thunderstorm potential is
    uncertain. Trends are being monitored for possible watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing along the surface
    cold front draped across southeast AR into east TX. An additional
    cluster of storms continued across east TX to near the Sabine River
    in western LA. While the airmass ahead of these areas of convection
    remain unstable, large-scale ascent continues to shift northeast of
    the region. Only modest convergence along the front is noted in weak
    surface wind observations across MS/LA. A lack of stronger forcing
    may limit overall severe potential. However, favorable vertical
    shear and MLCAPE values at or above 1500 J/kg amid steep midlevel
    lapse rates could support severe storms, mainly capable of large
    hail and perhaps strong gusts. Trends will be monitored for possible
    watch issuance.
