1143 AM CDT MON JUN 04 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...SE TX...SRN LA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 041643Z - 041815Z

A SEVERE THREAT MAY DEVELOP ACROSS SE TX AND SRN LA OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
STRONGER CELLS. WW ISSUANCE WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE REGION.

LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS A LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER
SRN LA EXTENDING WNWWD INTO SE TX LEFT OVER FROM AN MCS FROM THE
PREVIOUS DAY. MODERATE INSTABILITY IS ALREADY PRESENT THIS MORNING
ALONG THIS AXIS WITH MLCAPE VALUES IN THE 2000 TO 3000 J/KG RANGE.
THE LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AREAS OF CUMULUS
EXPANDING ACROSS PARTS OF EAST TX. THE AREA IS UNCAPPED ACCORDING TO
THE LAKE CHARLES 12Z SOUNDING WITH 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES IN THE 40 TO
50 KT RANGE. IF CONVECTIVE INITIATION OCCURS OVER THE NEXT 1 TO 2
HOURS...THE SHEAR SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING STORMS. A BRIEF
TORNADO THREAT MAY EXIST WITH THE BETTER ORGANIZED AND MORE
PERSISTENT ROTATING STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...THE
PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE WIND DAMAGE ESPECIALLY AS LOW-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES STEEPEN.
