   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 53...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 53
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong gusts remain possible across far
   southeast Louisiana into southern Alabama and the western Florida
   Panhandle the next few hours.

   DISCUSSION...Convection continues this afternoon along a surging
   cold front/outflow boundary. The boundary has surged southeast a bit
   quicker than previously anticipated, resulting in slightly more
   elevated convection. Nevertheless, favorable thermodynamics and
   moderate vertical shear have been sufficient for organized
   convection. A few stronger cells have occasionally shows MRMS MESH
   to around 1.25 inches. Gusts to around 60 mph also will be possible,
   especially across southeast Louisiana where the front is quickly
   shifting southeast. General trends are expected to persist for
   another few hours into late afternoon/early evening across WW 53.
