    Areas affected...Portions of far east TX into western/northern LA

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 95...

    Valid 092050Z - 092215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 95 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe/damaging wind potential may increase in the short
    term with a small bow moving eastward across parts of
    western/northern Louisiana. Significant severe winds up to around 75
    mph appear possible.

    DISCUSSION...A small bowing complex continues to organize across far
    east TX into far western LA. Even with cloud cover remaining
    prevalent downstream into northern LA, gradual airmass
    destabilization is occurring along and north of a surface boundary.
    Around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE will likely be sufficient to maintain
    current thunderstorm intensities, and strong deep-layer shear will
    be more than enough for continued convective organization with the
    bow. Recent Warn on Forecast (WoF) output shows increasing potential
    (greater than 50% chance) for severe-caliber winds of 50 kt or
    greater with this bow as it spreads eastward across parts of
    northern LA over the next couple of hours. Some chance for
    significant severe winds up to around 75 mph also appears possible.
    With ample 0-1 km shear present, and low-level winds backed to
    easterly along/near the surface boundary, a tornado threat will also
    exist. The best chance for a tornado will probably remain focused
    with embedded circulations within the bow, and along the surface
    boundary.
