   Areas affected...portions of LA and southwest MS

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 081835Z - 082030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorm clusters may produce sporadic strong gusts
   this afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms across northern LA will continue to
   propagate south/southeast this afternoon. Additional isolated storms
   have also developed further south from central LA into southern MS,
   likely along residual outflow and a band of differential heating.
   Large-scale ascent is somewhat nebulous across the region, but a
   band of moderate west/northwest flow aloft will persist. Strong
   heating an dewpoints well into the 70s F is supporting strong
   MLCAPE. Sporadic robust updrafts are possible over the next several
   hours and occasional strong gusts will be possible. While a severe
   thunderstorm watch is not expected immediately, trends will be
   monitored.
