    Areas affected...East Texas...Northern Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290...

    Valid 230158Z - 230400Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for wind damage and isolated large hail will
    likely continue through late evening from east Texas into northern
    Louisiana.

    DISCUSSION...A large MCS is currently ongoing from east Texas into
    northern Louisiana and far southern Arkansas. The MCS is located
    within a moderately unstable airmass, with the RAP analyzing MLCAPE
    in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range across much of the Sabine River
    Valley. In addition, the RAP shows a belt of strong mid-level flow
    from north Texas extending eastward into the lower Mississippi
    Valley. This stronger flow is being sampled by the WSR-88D VWP at
    Fort Polk, LA, which has 0-6 km shear near 50 knots. RAP forecast
    soundings nearby have steep mid-level lapse rates with veering winds
    from the surface to near 700 mb. This should continue to support a
    severe threat with the stronger cells embedded in the MCS. Wind
    damage will be the greatest threat, although isolated large hail
    will also be possible.
