   Concerning...Tornado Watch 135...

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 135 continues.

   SUMMARY...A corridor of increased severe potential, including the
   threat of a strong tornado, may be developing across central LA.

   DISCUSSION...Pair of discrete supercells moving into Natchitoches
   and Winn Parishes in central LA have recently shown signs of better
   low-level organization with stronger inflow/outflow structure and a
   more defined ZDR arc. Recent VAD profile from POE sampled 50 kt near
   1 km and over 400 m2/s2 of 0-1 km SRH. Some nocturnal stabilization
   has taken place but the very moist low-levels and already mature
   character of the storms suggest limited influence of this
   stabilization thus far. All of these factor suggest a corridor of
   increased severe potential, including the threat of a strong
   tornado, may be developing across central LA where STP is 4-6.
