   Areas affected...the Texas/Louisiana border region eastward across
   Louisiana

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 175...

   Valid 081947Z - 082145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 175
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A corridor of damaging wind potential is developing, with
   a brief tornado possible.

   DISCUSSION...Storms have increased in intensity with signs of
   surging outflows. In addition, brief areas of rotation have been
   noted. The outflow boundary extends roughly from Landry and
   Evangeline parishes westward into southern Newton and Jasper
   counties in TX, and it is in this corridor that storms have become
   fully surface based, with inflections forming along the boundary.
   Storms with south-of-east motions will continue to pose the greatest
   severe wind threat. Effective SRH near 200 m2/s2 may prove
   sufficient for a brief tornado this afternoon where the more robust
   storms intersect the outflow boundary.
