AREAS AFFECTED...SWRN LA TO SWRN MS

CONCERNING...01Z OUTLOOK UPGRADE

VALID 010706Z - 010900Z

A MARGINAL RISK FOR A BRIEF TORNADO AND DAMAGING WINDS EXISTS WITHIN
A CLUSTER OF TSTMS EXTENDING NEWD FROM SWRN LA. A WW ISSUANCE IS NOT
ANTICIPATED ATTM.

SW TO NE BAND OF TSTMS FROM CALCASIEU TO AVOYELLES PARISH LA APPEARS
LIKELY TO PERSIST WITHIN AN AXIS OF CONFLUENCE AMIDST A MODEST
LOW-LEVEL WAA REGIME. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY 00Z WRF-NSSL/NMM
GUIDANCE. EMBEDDED CELL IN ALLEN/EVANGELINE COUNTIES HAS SHOWN
EVIDENCE OF LOW-LEVEL ROTATION OVER THE PAST HALF HOUR. ALTHOUGH
LOW-LEVEL S/SWLYS ARE NOT PARTICULARLY STRONG AND NOT EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN...0-1 KM SRH OF 100-150 M2/S2 APPEARS TO BE ADEQUATE FOR
UPDRAFT ROTATION. GIVEN PRESENCE OF A RICH/MOIST THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILE CHARACTERIZED BY SURFACE DEW POINTS/TEMPERATURE IN THE
MIDDLE/UPPER 60S...A RISK FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND A BRIEF
TORNADO MAY PERSIST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
