   Areas affected...Northeastern Louisiana into Central Mississippi

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 26...

   Valid 072149Z - 072315Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 26
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for damaging thunderstorm winds continues
   across WW 26 until 03 UTC.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms in WW 26 will continue across the area,
   posing a threat primarily for damaging straight-line winds.
   Thunderstorms associated with a convectively-modified cold front
   moving east-southeast is going to intersect with warm sector
   convection moving northward. These warm sector storms have developed
   in a relatively dry boundary layer with inverted-v profiles
   supporting downbursts/damaging wind gusts. An additional, localized
   threat for damaging winds may materialize where thunderstorm/outflow
   interactions occur over the next few hours.
