   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
   CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION AND VICINITY...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few strong/possibly severe thunderstorms will be possible Monday
   morning and afternoon, from southern Louisiana eastward to southern
   Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level trough is forecast to advance slowly eastward across
   the eastern half of the U.S. on Monday, while ridging expands over
   the West.  At the surface, a weakening occluded low will move from
   the Upper Great Lakes eastward to southern Quebec through the
   period.  A trailing cold front will initially stretch from the Lower
   Great Lakes to the southern Appalachians, and then westward across
   the Gulf Coast States to Texas.  The front will move offshore into
   the western Atlantic through the day, while sagging southward toward
   the Gulf Coast -- where it should then linger through the end of the
   period.

   ...Southern Louisiana to southern Georgia and the Florida
   Panhandle...
   Showers and a few thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near and
   south of the advancing cold front.  Some severe risk (mainly
   hail/wind) may accompany a couple of the stronger storms during the
   morning, near the Gulf Coast region.  Depending upon convective
   coverage/evolution through late morning, any pre-frontal
   heating/destabilization could support
   redevelopment/reintensification of frontal convection, with a
   secondary peak in severe potential possible in this scenario. 
   Still, overall risk does not appear to warrant SLGT risk upgrade at
   this time.  Storms should weaken into the evening, while also
   shifting gradually southward/offshore.
