   ACROSS LA EARLY THIS MORNING.

   DISCUSSION...EARLIER QUASI-SEPARATE SQUALL LINES/BOW ECHOS OVER
   NORTHEAST/EAST-CENTRAL/SOUTH-CENTRAL TX HAVE ESSENTIALLY MERGED AND
   UNIFIED INTO A SEMI-SINGULAR EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD MOVING SQUALL LINE
   WITH EMBEDDED BOWS/MESOVORTICES ACROSS EAST TX/UPPER TX COASTAL
   PLAIN AS OF 0945Z/0445AM CDT. A 54 KT MEASURED WIND GUST WAS
   RECENTLY /0935Z/ NOTED AT CONROE /KCXO/. SEVERE-CALIBER DAMAGING
   WINDS WILL REMAIN A CONCERN THIS MORNING...ALONG WITH THE
   POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES VIA EMBEDDED CIRCULATIONS/MESOVORTICES AMID
   RELATIVELY STRONG EFFECTIVE SRH.

   AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...LOW-LEVEL STORM RELATIVE INFLOW APPEARS
   TO HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...RELATED TO NEAR-SURFACE
   EASTERLIES AND A BACKING/SOMEWHAT STRENGTHENING TREND OF 20-30 KT
   SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS IN THE LOWEST 2 KM AGL ACROSS WESTERN LA AS PER
   WSR-88D VWP DATA FROM FT POLK/LAKE CHARLES. FACTORS SUCH AS
   THIS...ALONG WITH A PROBABLE SYSTEM-TRAILING MCV AND
   MOIST/RELATIVELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT NEAR/SOUTHWEST A WNW-ESE
   FRONT...ARE LIKELY TO SUPPORT AN EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD SUSTENANCE OF A
   STRONG/SEVERE SQUALL LINE INTO WESTERN/SOUTHERN LA THROUGH AT LEAST
   MID-MORNING.
