    Mesoscale Discussion 1676
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0106 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

    Areas affected...portions of central/southern LA into far southern
    MS

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

    Valid 221806Z - 221930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage is expected to gradually increase
    over the next 1-2 hours. Locally strong gusts will be possible
    through early evening.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating and surface dewpoints in the low/mid 70s
    F have contributed to MLCAPE around 2500-3000 J/kg across the region
    this afternoon. Thunderstorms are increasing to the southwest of a
    severe warned cluster over southern MS along a southward-sagging
    surface front. Visible satellite imagery has shown
    increasing/deepening cumulus near the surface boundary over the past
    couple of hours, and additional thunderstorm development is expected
    in the next 1-2 hours. Vertical shear is weaker compared to further
    east across WW 539. However, given moderate/strong instability, high
    PW values (near 2 inches), and steep low-level lapse rates near 8
    C/km, sporadic wet microbursts are possible. If sufficient
    clustering/outflow consolidation occurs, damaging wind potential
    could increase with any forward-propagating clusters that develop.
    Convective trends will be monitored, and a severe thunderstorm watch
    could be issued at some point this afternoon if organized clusters
    develop.
