    Areas affected...northern LA...southern MS...far southern AR...and
    far southwestern AL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 072031Z - 072230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few more damaging gusts may occur this afternoon across
    parts of northeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, far southern
    Arkansas, and far southwest Alabama. A watch is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms is currently moving out of
    southeastern Arkansas into northeastern Louisiana, and more storms
    have developed nearby along the surface convergence line across
    northeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi. These storms are
    situated at the leading edge of a northerly upper-level jet
    according to water vapor imagery and Mesoanalysis products. Near the convergence line, temperatures have warmed into the mid-upper 90s,
    with dewpoints near 70F, yielding moderate MLCAPE values of
    2000-2500 J/kg and precipitable water values near 1.8", which is
    near the mean for the region and time of year. Given the moist
    troposphere, some potential exists for damaging gusts from
    water-loaded downdrafts, and in fact, there was a 51 kt gust at 2001
    UTC at KBIX. In addition, the modest deep-layer shear may promote
    clustering, and the clusters would be preferred locations for wind
    damage. The storms are expected to drift southward though the
    afternoon and wane shortly after sunset.
