SUMMARY...A MARGINAL AND SPATIALLY LIMITED THREAT FOR A TORNADO
EXISTS THIS MORNING NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE SABINE RIVER.

DISCUSSION...12Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A 1007 MB CYCLONE JUST NW
OF BPT WITH A WARM FRONT ARCING E/SEWD NEAR THE LA COAST.
WEAK/TRANSIENT AREAS OF LOW-LEVEL ROTATION HAVE BEEN NOTED IN
SHOWERS WITHIN THE WARM FRONTAL ZONE AND A NNE/SSW-ORIENTED BAND OF
SHOWERS/EMBEDDED TSTMS...SUPPORTED BY 0-1 KM SHEAR AROUND 30-35 KT
PER INTERPOLATED VWP DATA/12Z LCH RAOB. MIDDLE 60S SURFACE DEW
POINTS ARE NEEDED PER MODIFIED 12Z LCH RAOB TO ELICIT EVEN MODEST
MLCAPE OF AROUND 250 J/KG...GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF POOR TROPOSPHERIC
LAPSE RATES. THIS SHOULD LARGELY DETER TORNADO POTENTIAL FROM BEING
REALIZED...BUT A BRIEF TORNADO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT.
