    Concerning...Tornado Watch 100...

    Valid 101035Z - 101230Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 100 continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong wind gusts and line-embedded tornadoes remain
    possible across far southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana.
    Additionally, the tornado threat appears to be increasing across
    southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi, where a Tornado Watch
    will be needed soon

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing convective line continues to move quickly
    across far southeast TX. Recent radar imagery has shown an increase
    in echo tops within the line, with a bookend vortex also becoming
    more observable. This line is now more favorably oriented with the
    deep-layer vertical shear vector and the downstream air mass remains
    moist and unstable. As such, the line is expected to continue
    progresses eastward into southwest LA, with some potential
    intensification possible. Primary threat remains strong gusts (60-80
    mph), but embedded QLCS tornadoes are possible as well.

    Farther east, a blossoming warm-air advection regime is contributing
    to increasing storm coverage and intensity. Storm in Assumption
    Parish has a strong updraft with modest supercellular
    characteristics. This trend for increasing storm coverage and
    intensity will likely spread northward/northeastward into more of
    southeast LA and eventually into southern MS. The parameter space
    supports supercells capable of all severe hazards and Tornado Watch
    will likely be needed soon.
