Areas affected...southwest to south-central Louisiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 281701Z - 281830Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms may persist southeast
across southwest and south-central Louisiana this afternoon.
Damaging gusts will be the main hazard with this activity. A severe
thunderstorm watch may be needed soon.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms ongoing
near the TX/LA border at midday may persist southeast through the
afternoon along a surface boundary. A very moist (mid 70s to near 80
F dewpoints) boundary-layer exists across the area beneath very
steep midlevel lapse rates (8 C/km) and strong vertical shear (40+
kt effective shear). While this cluster of storms is less intense
compared to early in the morning, the downstream environment remains
favorable for organized severe. A severe thunderstorm watch may be
needed soon if current trends persist/intensify.
