    Areas affected...southwest LA and southeast TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 1...

    Valid 082321Z - 090015Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 1 continues.

    SUMMARY...Ongoing storms will continue to pose a risk for damaging
    gusts, and hail this evening. Isolated tornadoes will remain
    possible near the warm front.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2315 UTC a band of thunderstorms was ongoing
    across southeast TX into western LA along a surging cold front.
    Ahead of the front, a supercell on the TX/LA border is quickly
    approaching the northern end of the warm sector. A brief uptick in
    intensity is possible as the storm approaches the warm front.
    However, the narrow warm sector and the encroaching cold front may
    result in gradual elevation above the surface with time. Still a
    brief tornado, wind and hail risk may evolve with the storm over the
    next hour.

    Farther southwest recent lightning trends show the undercutting
    front has surged ahead of the convection limiting updraft strength.
    While storms have been slow to mature, an increase in the nocturnal
    low-level jet may support a slow uptick in storm coverage and
    intensity later this evening. Veered low-level flow would support a broken/linear band of storms with eventual upscale growth into a
    more organized QLCS possible with time. Damaging wind gusts and
    embedded circulations capable of tornadoes appear possible across
    the remainder of WW1.
