Areas affected...parts of northern and central Louisiana into far
southern Arkansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 140922Z - 141115Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated/marginally severe storms will remain a risk over
the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar reveals a band of thunderstorms --
including a couple of stronger/semi-organized updrafts -- occurring
over northern Louisiana at this time. The storms are initiating
along a surface occluded front, just ahead of the main mid-level
center of circulation now centered just northwest of Houston.

Cold air aloft ahead of the upper low is contributing to steep lapse
rates aloft, and thus appreciable (around 500 j/kg) low-topped CAPE.
However, this instability remains rooted just above a slightly
stable boundary layer, with dewpoints only in the upper 50s to low
60s ahead of the occluded front.

Along with ample CAPE for continued sustenance of isolated/elevated
storms, shear through the cloud-bearing layer is quite supportive of organized/rotating updrafts -- with veering/increasing flow with
height yielding roughly 50 kt 1km to 6km shear. Given this
environment, low-topped storms capable of marginally severe hail --
and possibly an isolated gust near severe levels -- will be
possible. A very weak/brief tornado is also not out of the
question, although the slightly stable boundary layer will remain
hostile toward appreciable tornado risk. At this time, the isolated
and marginal nature of the risk argues against any consideration for
WW issuance.
