DISCUSSION...The organized cluster of storms now east of the Nacogdoches and Lufkin vicinities has maintained considerable strength, but coldest cloud tops have recently been warming and lightning flash rates have declined a bit. General weakening trends seem likely to continue as the eastward propagation tends to outpace eastward boundary-layer moistening toward/into the lower Mississippi Valley. However, based on trends in surface observations, it might not be out of the question that a corridor of moisture advection across the Fort Polk through Alexandria vicinities could maintain at least modestly unstable updraft inflow another couple of hours. And convection overspreading this region may be slowest to weaken through 08-09Z, perhaps accompanied by a continuing risk for strong surface gusts occasionally approaching severe limits. ...Kerr/Grams.. 05/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4Mv7WM5pGsQ3YnPh1ByBEjwXnTHinRgv9hgX-8wLNibtgS1oc8dWID4YMyv0y_SM8Nrr3qufX= tiC60YvVUkrgZNuoPI$ for graphic product...
