Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Louisiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 38...

Valid 070931Z - 071030Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 38
continues.

SUMMARY...A new severe weather watch issuance is not expected, but
remaining valid portions of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 38 may locally
be extended for an hour or two.

DISCUSSION...Considerable weakening of thunderstorm activity has
occurred during the past hour or so, as the primary, weak frontal
wave continues to progress well east of the region (into/across the
Alabama and Georgia piedmont).  Strongest lingering convective
development near Baton Rouge is occurring just ahead of a remnant
mesoscale convective vortex, in the vicinity of a boundary
intersection associated with the conglomerate convective outflow. 
As this spreads across the Lake Pontchartrain vicinity and nearby
coastal areas to the east through daybreak, additional strong storm
development may still be possible, with perhaps some risk for hail
and strong wind gusts.  In general, though, severe weather potential
is expected to continue to become increasingly negligible.
