   Areas affected...far northern parts of southeast LA...parts of
   southern MS

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 32...

   Valid 090006Z - 090130Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 32 continues.

   SUMMARY...The most appreciable tornado risk ---featuring the
   possibility for a couple of tornadoes--- will be focused across far
   northern parts of southeast LA into southern MS during the 6-8 pm
   period as the wind profile gradually strengthens amidst a
   moist/adequately unstable airmass and supercellular mode is probably
   maintained.

   DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows 66-68 deg F dewpoints residing
   across the warm sector over southeast LA into southern MS.  The
   Slidell, LA (KLIX) VAD data shows a gradual strengthening in the
   wind profile mainly in the 1-3 km layer.  Although buoyancy will
   slowly lessen through the evening, around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE is
   currently analyzed per objective analysis.  The combination of a
   moist boundary layer, moderate buoyancy, and supercellular mode
   suggest a continuation and perhaps increase of the tornado risk
   through 8 pm across parts of southern MS to near the LA/MS border
   north of Lake Pontchartrain.
