   Concerning...Tornado Watch 53...54...

   Valid 132039Z - 132215Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 53, 54 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe weather potential continues to gradually ramp up. 
   This appears likely to include a few supercells with increasing
   potential for a strong tornadoes through 5-6 PM CDT.

   DISCUSSION...Gust front continues to advance eastward around 40 kt,
   into the Sabine Valley and upper Texas coast, accompanied by a
   narrow broken line of intense convective development.  This activity
   is preceded by scattered discrete storm development, and an evolving
   cluster of storms centered around the Monroe LA area.

   It appears that severe weather potential, including potentially
   damaging wind gusts and a risk for tornadoes, will maximize in a
   corridor near/north of Natchitoches through the Monroe LA area
   between now and 22-23Z.  

   20Z surface observations indicate that rapid strong 2-hour surface
   pressure falls have become focused across the Monroe LA into
   Greenville/Vicksburg MS vicinity, where further boundary layer
   destabilization associated with warming and moistening may support
   intensifying boundary-layer based thunderstorm development during
   the next few hours.  Beneath a 50 kt southerly 850 mb jet, large
   clockwise curved low-level hodographs will support increasing
   potential for tornadoes.  A couple could be strong.
