    Areas affected...Coastal southeast LA

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

    Valid 221009Z - 221215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An organized but elevated QLCS should continue eastward
    across the rest of southeast LA through mid-morning. The tail end of
    the line segment along the immediate coast will have the best chance
    to produce strong gusts from 45-60 mph and marginally severe hail of 0.75-1.25".

    DISCUSSION...A longer-lived MCS with a history of embedded bowing
    structures has largely evolved into more of a north/south-oriented
    short-line segment across south-central LA and the adjacent
    nearshore waters. A pronounced rear-inflow jet is evident in the
    time-series of LCH VWP data, and this line segment should remain
    organized as it progresses east across southeast LA. Peak measured
    wind gusts have ranged from 45-50 mph, as the elevated character of
    the line segment has mitigated severe gusts at the surface. With the
    line paralleling the MUCAPE gradient, convection closer to the
    immediate coast will have the best chance to become marginally
    severe. The offshore surface warm front should continue to drift
    north, but it does not appear it will advance inland fast enough
    relative to the line's forward speed, outside of possibly
    Plaquemines Parish.
