   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 720 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Particularly Dangerous
   Situation Tornado Watch 720. The greatest threat for significant
   tornadoes remains with a supercell across coastal southeast TX,
   though QLCS tornadoes remain possible across LA.

   DISCUSSION...A lone supercell across far southeast Coastal TX has
   produced a likely intense tornado that may have persisted for over
   90 minutes, and is likely still be in progress. Even if this tornado
   dissipates soon, the parent steady-state supercell will continue to
   move along the coastline with continued significant tornado
   potential for at least the next few hours. Meanwhile, farther to the
   northeast, a QLCS continues to gradually organize and mature, with
   KPOE regional radar data suggesting that leading-line mesovortices
   and perhaps QLCS tornadoes may be developing. Current thinking is
   that the QLCS will persist across western into central LA with
   damaging gust and tornado potential through the remainder of the
   afternoon and early evening.
