Areas affected...parts of southeastern Louisiana through portions
of southern and central Mississippi

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 091308Z - 091515Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Potential for an additional brief tornado and/or locally
damaging wind gusts is generally not expected to continue in the
near term. However, trends will continue to be monitored.

DISCUSSION...A couple of intensifying near-surface cyclonic
circulations have been recently observed within scattered ongoing
thunderstorm development. This appears to have coincided with
subtle surface warming and moistening sufficient to contribute to
weak boundary-layer based instability, based on forecast soundings
and the 12Z sounding from Jackson. But, this also appears to be
occurring as low-level hodographs shrink and trend more linear, in
the wake of the initial short wave trough now accelerating northeast
of the middle Mississippi Valley. As a result, potential for
further similar mesovortex intensification accompanied by the risk
for a brief tornado and/or damaging wind gusts seems likely to
diminish shortly, if it hasn't already.
