Valid 251047Z - 251215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 631 continues. SUMMARY...An MCS will continue eastward across far southeast Texas into southwest Louisiana this morning, posing a risk of damaging winds in Severe Thunderstorm Watch 631. A local extension of the watch (spatially and temporally) may be warranted. DISCUSSION...A north/south-oriented MCS continues tracking eastward at around 35 kt across far southeast TX toward southwest LA this morning. Recent VWP data from KHGX sampled a 45-kt rear-inflow jet, and several severe-wind reports have been associated with the line. As this activity continues eastward into southwest LA, upper 60s to lower 70s dewpoints, modest low-level warm advection (evident in LCH VWP data), and around 40 kt of line-orthogonal deep-layer shear should support its maintenance. The primary concern continues to be damaging wind gusts, though a brief embedded/mesovortex tornado also remains possible -- given sufficient low-level shear and the rich boundary-layer moisture. As such, a local spatial and temporal extension of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 631 may be warranted, to include Jefferson Davis, Acadia, and Vermilion Parishes until 13Z or 14Z. ...Weinman/Smith.. 10/25/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4RWrkYaq7S4P6OZW2TFmiESyGs1lG4bGra4iyArt6NOtQHBGT0GDKm8tegh9-9W0JsMPhAjmu= wKCJShMF4H_Pn_8LKM$ for graphic product...
