    Mesoscale Discussion 0025
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0124 AM CST Sat Jan 19 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of southwest to northeast LA and
    southwest/west-central MS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 190724Z - 190930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Locally strong/damaging winds and/or a tornado are
    possible with storms developing across central into northeast
    Louisiana, with storms tracking northeast toward southwest and
    west-central Mississippi overnight. Coverage of these severe
    threats may preclude the issuance of a watch, though convective
    trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in radar and satellite imagery, and lightning
    data showed an increase in storm development/organization and
    intensity across central LA during the early overnight (primarily
    across Grant and Winn Parishes at this time). This activity appears
    to be located in vicinity of a pre-frontal trough, as a heights fall
    with the approach of an amplifying shortwave trough across the
    southern Plains. Poleward return flow of low-level moisture will
    further moisten a boundary layer that could support surface-based
    storms through the overnight to early morning. Recent RAP soundings
    for this region suggest a near-surface stable layer that could
    result in weak parcel ascent, and suggest that storms may be
    slightly elevated. Strong vertical wind profiles with low-level
    hodograph curvature per area VADs indicate strong deep-layer and
    low-level shear for storm organization, including rotating updrafts
    as have been observed in central LA. Given uncertainties in the
    near-surface destabilization trends, watch issuance is not expected
    at this time, though this area will be monitored for any substantial
    increases in moistening and/or storm intensification.
