    Areas affected...portions of central/southern LA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 290622Z - 290715Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe threat may persist through the overnight hours.
    Damaging gusts and a tornado will be the main concern with this
    activity. A new watch will be needed by 07z.

    DISCUSSION...A mature MCS over central LA into southeast TX will
    continue to develop east/southeast overnight. A 06z RAOB from LCH
    shows a modestly unstable airmass with near 1500 J/kg MLCAPE. A deep
    saturated layer from the surface to around 700 mb will preclude
    steep low-level lapse rates and limit cold pool strength. This will
    likely limit a more widespread damaging wind risk. Nevertheless,
    favorable vertical shear and sufficient instability will support a
    continued risk for at least sporadic, locally strong to severe gusts
    of 45-60 mph. Nearer to the coast where dewpoints are in the low
    70s, vertically veering low-level winds with somewhat enlarged
    low-level hodographs may support some brief tornado potential. But
    strong gusts are expected to largely be the main concern through
    early morning.
