   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
   LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
   OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA LATE TONIGHT....

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms may produce a few tornadoes and damaging wind gusts
   today and tonight, from parts of the central Gulf Coast to the
   eastern Carolinas.

   ...LA to GA/FL...
   Morning water vapor loop shows a significant shortwave trough moving
   across OK/AR, with an associated 80kt mid-level jet max rotating
   into LA/MS.  This feature is resulting in cyclogenesis off the LA
   coast, with a warm front extending eastward from the low roughly
   along the Gulf coast of MS/AL/FL.  The surface low and warm front
   will move slightly inland this afternoon and evening, with
   moist/unstable air overspreading the coastal counties of this
   region.  Forecast soundings show ample low-level and deep-layer
   shear, favorable for a few supercells and the risk of isolated
   tornadoes or damaging wind gusts.  Activity will move into southwest
   GA after dark, where a slightly more stable environment should
   result in a weakening trend of the storms.

   ...Eastern NC...
   As the aforementioned upper system moves eastward, significant
   intensification of the southerly low-level jet is forecast to occur
   over the Carolinas/VA.  This will result in a corridor of rapid
   destabilization after midnight over parts of eastern NC as dewpoints
   rise into the mid/upper 60s.  Vertical shear will be quite strong,
   and 12z CAM solutions suggest a few rotating storms may develop. 
   There is a risk of a few tornadoes overnight in this region.
