   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

   DISCUSSION...A THUNDERSTORM HAS DEVELOPED NEAR THE SABINE RIVER IN
   FAR SOUTHWEST LA LATE THIS MORNING ALONG A W-E ORIENTED SFC
   BOUNDARY/TROUGH IN THE VICINITY OF A WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
   TROUGH /NOTED IN LATEST WV IMAGERY/ TRACKING EWD ACROSS SRN TX AND
   THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. 12Z RAOB FROM LCH SHOWED A VERTICALLY
   VEERING LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILE WITH 0-1 KM SRH NEAR 250 M2/S2 IN A
   TROPICAL AIRMASS WITH MEAN MIXING RATIOS NEAR 14 G/KG AND SBCAPE
   AROUND 1500 J/KG. THE THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO THE N/NE ACROSS
   SRN/SERN LA INTO THE AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES EWD.
   GIVEN FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES AND MOISTURE PROFILES...A
   TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY IN THE VICINITY OF
   THE SFC BOUNDARY/TROUGH. GENERALLY WEAK FLOW ALOFT AND SOME DRIER
   AIR AROUND 850-700 MB COUPLED WITH PW VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES COULD
   LEAD TO A FEW STRONGER WIND GUSTS AS WELL. GIVEN LACK OF STRONGER
   DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND ONLY WEAK FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER
   SHORTWAVE IMPULSE...CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED. A WATCH IS
   NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
   MONITORED.
