    Areas affected...Southeast AR...East TX...Northwest/North-Central LA

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 22...

    Valid 140907Z - 141030Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 22
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts and hail will continue for
    the next several hours.

    DISCUSSION...Convective line continues to push steadily eastward/east-northeastward across east/southeast TX, far southwest
    AR, and far northwest LA. Northern portion of the line in the
    ArkLaTex is moving a bit faster than portions farther south in the
    Brazos Valley. This may bring that portion of the line to the edge
    of the watch within the next hour. As such, an areal extension may
    be needed across north-central LA.

    Thermodynamic environment ahead of the northern portion of the line
    (i.e. across far southwest AR, far northwest LA, and east-central
    TX) is currently characterized by temperatures in the low 70s and
    dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s. A similar thermodynamic
    environment exists farther south in southeast TX, only with slightly
    higher dewpoints. Some convective inhibition exists within this
    modestly moist air mass but forcing for ascent along the front will
    help overcome this inhibition, promoting the persistence of the line
    for the next several hours.

    Several strong updrafts exist within the line, one of which is
    located in Marion and Harrison counties in TX with another in
    Houston county TX. Hail is possible within these strong updrafts as
    well as with any new updraft development. Damaging wind gusts are
    also possible along the length of the line and near the strong
    updraft in particular. Strength of the low-level shear (near 40 kt
    from 0-1 km on the SHV VAD) may also promote the development of a
    brief QLCS tornado or two.
