    Mesoscale Discussion 0047

    Areas affected...Southeast LA and Southern portions of MS/AL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 231354Z - 231600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe potential, at least in an isolated sense, should
    gradually increase through mid/late morning, initially across
    southeast LA and far southern MS. While a Watch issuance is not
    imminent, observational/convective trends will continue to be
    monitored, and a Watch could become more probable later this
    morning.

    DISCUSSION...Bands of increasing showers and some thunderstorms
    (mostly offshore at this time) exists across the region coincident
    with a warm/moist conveyor ahead of a cold front. The region will be increasingly influenced by an upstream upper-level trough, while
    richer moisture (some middle 60s F surface dewpoints) continues to
    develop northward/inland particularly across southeast LA. Although
    the 12Z observed sounding from LIX/New Orleans featured a cool
    stable near-surface layer, temperatures/dewpoints have already risen
    since, and sounding modifications/forecast soundings imply that
    convection could become more rooted in the boundary layer as
    temperatures climb through the upper 60s F and reach 70F in some
    cases.

    Accordingly, the aforementioned bands of showers should continue to
    deepen through the morning, with the possibility of increasing
    intensity and organization by late morning. Very strong low-level
    shear will support the possibility of a few supercells ahead of what
    should eventually be an organized line of convection. Overall,
    damaging winds along with the potential for a tornado or two will be
    the primary concerns, with hail magnitudes expected to be limited by
    convective mode and observed thin/weak overall buoyancy.
