   Areas affected...northern Louisiana

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 95...

   Valid 092217Z - 092345Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 95 continues.

   SUMMARY...A line of storms will move east this evening with a threat
   for severe wind gusts and potentially a few tornadoes.

   DISCUSSION...A well organized bowing-segment continue east across
   northern Louisiana. This bow will continue to pose a threat for
   severe wind gusts. In addition, a few tornadoes are possible given
   around 150 m2/s2 0-1 SRH and several mesovorticies within the line.
   The greatest tornado potential may be on the northern periphery of
   the bow where the UDCZ is becoming more normal to the low-level
   shear vector. In addition, it appears a meso-low and potential
   "comma head" may be starting to form. Eventually, this line of
   storms will move into weaker instability and weaker low-level flow
   across Mississippi which will likely result in weakening of this
   bow.
