   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous United
   States on Wednesday.

   ...Lower Sabine River Valley...

   Large-scale upper trough currently located over the southwestern US
   will translate downstream into the southern Rockies during the
   overnight hours. Resultant weak mid-level height falls will spread
   across the southern High Plains region as polar air surges south
   across TX. Surface cyclogenesis is not expected along the cold front
   but a weak wave should develop across south TX then translate to
   near the upper TX Coast by the end of the period. Modified
   boundary-layer moisture over the Gulf Basin will advance north such
   that lower-mid 60s surface dew points will return to southern
   LA/MS/AL; however, forecast soundings suggest surface-based buoyancy
   will still be lacking. Profiles depict modest MUCAPE if lifting a
   parcel just above the shallow boundary layer. While mid-level lapse
   rates should not be especially steep (7.5 C/km), buoyancy will be
   more than adequate for robust elevated updrafts late in the period,
   especially near the weak wave. Wind profiles also favor sustained
   updrafts and a few weak supercells will likely evolve during the
   overnight period. Given the modest low-level moisture return and the
   likelihood for this activity to be elevated, at this time it appears
   small hail would be the greatest risk with overnight convection. For
   these reasons will not introduce severe probabilities.
