...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF
EASTERN TEXAS AND SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of
southeast Texas into western Louisiana Saturday afternoon or
evening.

...Synopsis...
The shortwave trough over the central Plains will move eastward as
mid-level westerly flow intensifies from the Plains to the MS Valley
and Midwest Saturday/Sunday. A surface low attendant to the trough
will move from OK/KS to the southern Great Lakes as a strong cold
front moves south from the Red River to the lower MS Valley.
Moisture return ahead of the front will support scattered
thunderstorms across eastern TX, the Sabine Valley and lower MS
valley through early morning Sunday.

...Southeast TX to western LA...
With southerly surface flow expected to develop ahead of the
deepening surface cyclone over the Plains Saturday, low-level
moisture advection should increase across coastal and southeast TX
into LA. A warm front will slowly lift northward, stalling over
southwest LA as it encounters a deep and cool air mass farther
north. Continued low-level warm air advection (despite ongoing
showers and remnant clouds) should allow for gradual destabilization
Saturday afternoon. While overall forcing for ascent appears weak as
the upper trough departs to the north, scattered thunderstorm
development appears probable, both within the low-level warm
advection regime and along the approaching cold front from the
Northwest. Given expected mid to upper 60s F dewpoints beneath 7-8
C/km mid-level lapse rates, around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE could support a
few stronger updrafts late Saturday through Sunday morning. Residual
westerly flow aloft may also favor some storm organization with
multicell lines or clusters and perhaps transient supercells capable
of damaging gusts and hail. This is most likely from the TX coastal
Plain to southwestern LA before the cold front moves offshore into
the Gulf.
