Valid 161850Z - 162015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 498 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds around 50-60 mph will likely spread east-southeastward across parts of northern Louisiana and southern Arkansas this afternoon. DISCUSSION...A small convective cluster has recently intensified across northeast TX while producing multiple reports of tree damage, prompting issuance of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 498. A very unstable airmass and steepened low-level lapse rates are present downstream of this cluster across northern LA and southern AR, with MLCAPE of 3000-4000+ J/kg present. Although deep-layer shear remains modest, generally 20-30 kt or less, this cluster will probably maintain its intensity as it moves east-southeastward across northern LA and vicinity over the next couple of hours. Given the very favorable thermodynamic environment, scattered damaging winds generally around 50-60 mph should continue to be the main threat with this convection. Locally greater winds to 65-70 mph may occur. ...Gleason.. 07/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9D3SCeT-ZyziCh0bBQZRjtJy-aalQcUBTJGpBTLJZt746CzuczOiv7Yh8A1L3gBQiFNLK2xJR= t2hAmyRVBzS55oko8M$ for graphic product...
