    Areas affected...east-central LA...southwest into southern MS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 261557Z - 261800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A limited threat for strong/locally damaging gusts
    seemingly exists in the near term through midday. The risk for
    damaging gusts may increase this afternoon in the vicinity of prior outflow/differential heating boundary, but the prospect for damaging
    gusts remains uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...Radar/visible-satellite mosaic shows a squall line
    extending from far southeast AR south-southwestward into
    west-central LA. Surface analysis places a remnant outflow boundary/differential heating zone draped from east to west over the
    southern tier of counties in southern MS westward into east-central
    LA. South of the boundary temperatures are warming into the mid 80s
    deg F with mid 70s dewpoints, and rain-cooled temperatures are in
    the lower 70s north of the boundary in northeast LA and adjacent
    portions of western MS.

    An MCV associated with the linear MCS will continue eastward through
    the lower MS Valley this afternoon. Some filtered heating through a
    thin cirrus canopy ahead of the line will act to slowly destabilize
    the boundary layer near and south of I-20. Given a gradual increase
    in instability through the early to mid afternoon, expecting a slow strengthening in storm intensity along the gust front. A few of the
    stronger storms may pose an isolated risk for strong to locally
    severe gusts (50-60 mph). There remains some uncertainty on the
    spatial extent and magnitude of the potential strong/severe risk
    during the afternoon. Will monitor convective trends for the
    possibility of a small and targeted severe thunderstorm watch across
    portions of southern MS.
