Mesoscale Discussion 1678
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0122 PM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024

Areas affected...portions of southeast Louisiana into extreme
southern Mississippi

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 181822Z - 181915Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...A couple of damaging gusts are possible over the next few
hours. A WW issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Pulse cellular convection has recently organized into
an MCS with some bowing characteristics associated with merging cold
pools. This bowing feature is progressing into a strongly unstable
environment (i.e. 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE) driven by strong surface
heating and low to mid 70s F surface dewpoints. Though vertical wind
shear is weak, this bowing structure/cold pool progressing into this
buoyant airmass may promote the development of strong wind gusts,
and a severe gust cannot be ruled out. Nonetheless, the severe
threat should be sparse, so a WW issuance is not expected.
