Damaging gusts and a tornado will be the main concern with this activity. A new watch will be needed by 07z. DISCUSSION...A mature MCS over central LA into southeast TX will continue to develop east/southeast overnight. A 06z RAOB from LCH shows a modestly unstable airmass with near 1500 J/kg MLCAPE. A deep saturated layer from the surface to around 700 mb will preclude steep low-level lapse rates and limit cold pool strength. This will likely limit a more widespread damaging wind risk. Nevertheless, favorable vertical shear and sufficient instability will support a continued risk for at least sporadic, locally strong to severe gusts of 45-60 mph. Nearer to the coast where dewpoints are in the low 70s, vertically veering low-level winds with somewhat enlarged low-level hodographs may support some brief tornado potential. But strong gusts are expected to largely be the main concern through early morning. ...Leitman/Thompson.. 04/29/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8Z9GVC-p4sSSbNTnR25yaLdlpURgr8_fb6mbV6cUShumE5fxvpsFl5QsZWfFadaLxtp0H7UZz= rFnsNVMarvy3QnbsMw$ for graphic product...
