    Areas affected...East Texas...Western Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 66...

    Valid 282231Z - 290030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 66 continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated tornado and wind-damage threat will likely
    continue for another hour or two. After the 00Z expiration of WW 66,
    a lingering severe threat will be possible, which could necessitate
    a local weather watch extension.

    DISCUSSION...The latest satellite imagery and RAP analysis show a
    mid-level trough over the central Texas, with several vorticity
    maxima located from east Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley.
    Large-scale ascent associated with the vorticity maxima will
    continue to support scattered thunderstorm development across the
    Sabine River Valley early this evening. The RAP is analyzing an axis
    of instability over far east Texas where SBCAPE is estimated around
    1000 J/kg range. In addition, the RAP is showing a low to mid-level
    jet over western and central Louisiana. This feature appears to be
    sampled by the Lake Charles and Shreveport WSR-88D VWPs which have
    30 to 35 knots of 0-6 km shear and 0-3 km storm-relative helicity
    around 250 m2/s2. This environment should support an isolated
    tornado threat with supercells over the next one to two hours. Any
    supercell could also be capable of producing isolated severe gusts.
