   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 1 continues.

   SUMMARY...Some increase in tornado potential is expected over the
   next 1-3 hours across portions of central and northern Louisiana and
   vicinity.

   DISCUSSION...Surface dewpoints have increased to the 64-67 F degree
   range in a relatively narrow corridor ahead of the
   eastward-advancing cold front and QLCS. Convection within this
   corridor is strengthening within a zone of modest low-level
   confluence. Isolated, semi-discrete cells have occasionally shown
   moderate low and midlevel rotation. If this convection can continue
   to mature as it moves through the moist axis and a zone of
   relatively higher 0-1 km SRH, tornado potential may increase the
   next couple of hours. Additionally, convection along the cold front
   may also intensify as it moves into this more favorable environment.
