    Concerning...Tornado Watch 667...

    Valid 112023Z - 112200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 667 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 667. A
    brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple transient supercells, embedded within the
    broader rainbands associated with Hurricane Francine, have
    percolated in intensity and organization over the past few hours
    across southeast LA and adjacent areas offshore. However, a
    widespread and persistent rain-shield has limited diurnal heating,
    with surface temperatures barely exceeding the mid 70s F amid mid
    70s F dewpoints. The resultant thermodynamic profiles yields scant
    buoyancy inland, with MLCAPE limited to 500 J/kg (perhaps less in
    spots), which is likely tempering tornado potential. Nonetheless,
    HDC VAD profiler trends show hodographs increasing in size and
    curvature as vertical wind fields increase in intensity with the
    approach of Francine's center. As such, a couple of brief tornadoes
    cannot be ruled out where any longer-lived, sustained supercell
    structure can traverse a favorable overlapping buoyancy/shear
    parameter space.
