Areas affected...far southeast Texas into central Louisiana

Concerning...Tornado Watch 720...

Valid 282146Z - 282315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 720 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Particularly Dangerous
Situation Tornado Watch 720. The greatest threat for significant
tornadoes remains with a supercell across coastal southeast TX,
though QLCS tornadoes remain possible across LA.

DISCUSSION...A lone supercell across far southeast Coastal TX has
produced a likely intense tornado that may have persisted for over
90 minutes, and is likely still be in progress. Even if this tornado
dissipates soon, the parent steady-state supercell will continue to
move along the coastline with continued significant tornado
potential for at least the next few hours. Meanwhile, farther to the
northeast, a QLCS continues to gradually organize and mature, with
KPOE regional radar data suggesting that leading-line mesovortices
and perhaps QLCS tornadoes may be developing. Current thinking is
that the QLCS will persist across western into central LA with
damaging gust and tornado potential through the remainder of the
afternoon and early evening.
