    Areas affected...southern Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 94...

    Valid 131944Z - 132145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 94
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe risk continues -- mainly over coastal areas of
    southern Louisiana.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows outflow from widespread inland
    convection now moving southward toward/off the southern Louisiana
    Coast, and is expected to clear all Parishes west of the river in
    the next 1 to 2 hours. Greatest ongoing severe risk remains with
    the more surface-based storms near this outflow -- across Terrebonne/Lafourche/Jefferson/Plaquemines Parishes, where large
    hail and locally strong/possibly damaging gusts may occur.

    Elsewhere, weaker storms in a warm-advection regime north of the
    outflow are increasing across south central Louisiana. While some
    hail cannot be ruled out, the greater risk should taper off as
    outflow advances into the northern Gulf of Mexico.

    Areas affected...Northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 110...

    Valid 242313Z - 250115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 110
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms across northeast Alabama and northwest
    Georgia will continue to pose a risk for severe hail and wind
    through the evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...Discrete and embedded supercells continue to traverse
    eastward across northeast AL in the vicinity of a surface low and
    along a weak trough axis. Several severe hail reports have been
    noted with this activity, and and an environment featuring 1000-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE along with 50-60 knots of effective bulk shear will
    remain supportive of a severe hail threat for the next couple of
    hours. Deep-layer shear vectors oriented along the trough axis may
    favor eventual upscale growth that could limit the hail threat while
    augmenting the potential for damaging winds, though the exact
    evolution is uncertain.

    However, the environment remains somewhat spatially limited with
    eastward extent due to cooler air to the north of a weak warm front,
    and a residual cold pool in place across central GA. Modest warm air
    advection in the 925-850 mb layer across northwest GA may allow for
    some eastward expansion of the viable warm sector, but the general
    expectation is for storms to gradually weaken as they move into
    north-central GA later this evening.

    Areas affected...Southeast New Mexico and West/Southwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 173...

    Valid 152335Z - 160100Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 173
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts
    continues across WW 173.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar/satellite shows a relatively long-lived
    supercell with a history of producing severe hail moving southeast
    through portions of Pecos county into Terrell county in the Big Bend
    region of southwest Texas. Other cells developing along high
    terrain in portions of far southwest Texas into southeast New Mexico
    are beginning to enter western portions of WW 173. One of these
    cells produced a measured wind gust of 62 mph at the Culberson, TX,
    ASOS station.

    In the near term, isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts will
    remain the primary threat with the ongoing convective activity,
    particularly as storms continue moving eastward into improving
    thermodynamic conditions. Presently, SPC mesoanalysis shows MLCAPE
    ranging from near 1000 J/kg in western portions of the watch area,
    to near 2000 J/kg along the eastern edge, amid effective shear
    values near 35 kt promoting multicell and transient supercell
    structures. Thus, the severe threat is expected to continue.

    To the east of WW 173, stabilizing outflow from previous convective
    activity is evident in visible satellite imagery, with near 100 J/kg
    of SBCIN analyzed in mesoanalysis. These observations suggest the
    storm entering Terrell county may have somewhat limited aerial
    extent of severe potential as it nears the southeastern edge of the
    watch area. However, convective trends will continue to be monitored
    closely.

    With time, storms farther west may congeal into more of a linear
    structure, and should this occur, the threat will transition to
    primarily damaging winds through the remainder of the evening.
