Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Louisiana and southern
Mississippi
Concerning...Tornado Watch 633...
Valid 261117Z - 261245Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 633 continues.
SUMMARY...A notable uptick in thunderstorm intensity is evident
across parts of southeastern Louisiana into southern Mississippi --
within Tornado Watch 633. This trend may continue for at least
another couple hours, with a risk for a couple tornadoes.
DISCUSSION...The latest radar and lightning data indicate an
increase in thunderstorm intensity/organization over the last hour
-- generally in a north-south corridor extending from southeast LA
into southern MS. A couple radar-confirmed tornadoes have been noted
with this activity. The broken band of supercells are evolving
east-northeastward in an environment characterized by
enlarged/clockwise-curved low-level hodographs (upwards of 250 m2/s2
0-1 km SRH per VWP) and lower 70s boundary-layer dewpoints. As these
established storms and favorable environment continue spreading
eastward this morning, the risk for couple tornadoes will continue
across Tornado Watch 633.

Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Louisiana and southern
Mississippi
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 260832Z - 261030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Monitoring parts of southeastern Louisiana and southern
Mississippi for continued severe risk downstream of Tornado Watch
632. The need for another watch is uncertain, though convective
trends are being monitored.
DISCUSSION...Storms have been struggling to organize/intensify as
they track eastward across southern LA and southern MS in Tornado
Watch 632. This is largely due to limited large-scale forcing for
ascent and the lack of a low-level mass response amid poor lapse
rates across the surface-based warm sector. Nevertheless, a
conditionally favorable environment remains in place for rotating
storms -- characterized by enlarged/clockwise-curved low-level
hodographs (per HDC VWP) and lower 70s boundary-layer dewpoints.
This environment will continue shifting eastward across southeastern
LA and southern MS into the early morning hours. As a result, a
continued conditional risk of a tornado or locally damaging gusts is
being monitored. It is unclear if another watch will be needed,
though convective trends are being monitored.

Areas affected...Parts of south-central Louisiana into far southwest
Mississippi
Concerning...Tornado Watch 632...
Valid 260637Z - 260800Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 632 continues.
SUMMARY...The risk of a couple tornadoes and locally damaging gusts
will continue spreading eastward across southern Louisiana and far
southern Mississippi early this morning -- within Tornado Watch 632.
DISCUSSION...An earlier band of convection has largely devolved into
disorganized semi-discrete elements while tracking slowly eastward
across southern LA this morning. Ahead of this activity, the HDC VWP
is sampling 40-kt flow between 0.5 and 1 km. This flow field is
coincident with around 2-mb surface pressure falls and resulting in
increased low-level hodograph curvature compared to the earlier
pre-convective environment farther west. While the continued messy
storm mode and only modest low-level mass response continue to cast
uncertainty on the overall severe risk, the implied low-level
streamwise vorticity and moist boundary layer (lower 70s dewpoints)
will continue to support a risk of a couple tornadoes with eastward
extent.

Areas affected...southern LA and far southeast TX/southwest MS
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 260240Z - 260445Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Some tornado and damaging wind threat may yet occur as a
messy cluster spreads eastward from southeast Texas across southern
Louisiana overnight. While temporal uncertainty exists in whether a
watch will be needed, one could be possible based on observational
trends over the next several hours.
DISCUSSION...An east-southeast progressing broken linear cluster has
not produced any reported severe since 21Z. The orientation of deep
convection has largely yielded continuous undercutting by nearly
line-parallel outflow. There are signs of a more southeasterly
surge, north of Galveston Bay, which could be initial attempts at
intensification tonight as the messy cluster impinges on the
residual MLCAPE axis across southwest LA. Evening guidance has
backed off on the strength of low-level jet intensification, but
some modest increase has occurred per time-series of HGX/LCH VWPs
relative to weak low-level shear sampled by the 00Z LCH sounding.
Despite weak tropospheric lapse rates, this setup may be adequate
for a few embedded cells acquiring low-level updraft rotation. These
will be capable of producing a tornado and locally damaging winds,
especially where upper 60s surface dew points can be maintained.
