A risk for hail, damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado may persist for 1-2 more hours before storms gradually weaken. DISCUSSION...As of 0035 UTC, regional radar analysis showed two supercells over Sabine County/Parish in eastern TX and far western LA have recently intensified. Located along the far eastern edge of the warm sector, these storms are rapidly approaching a much more stable airmass farther east into central LA. Despite increasingly unfavorable thermodynamics, residual buoyancy, (~500 J/kg of MUCAPE) and 40+ kt of effective shear may support an isolated risk for hail and damaging wind gusts for the next 1-2 hours. A brief tornado may also be possible given 0-1km SRH near 250-300 m2/s2 and the supercell mode. These storms should gradually weaken as they move into the more stable and less unstable air farther east. With uncertainty on storm longevity high, a new WW is unlikely. Though conditions will be monitored for any changes. ...Lyons/Bunting.. 03/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7Fs9i9rjH5TN59t824aH48QM9uvf4WwE7Tx8GeEitcnynHWBtqCNP8S8ubezSaMei3cuoS9Bo= NIreitrE_ECh5fmujA$ for graphic product...
