   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 622
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds continues, especially in
   southeast Louisiana where an organized cold pool has developed.

   DISCUSSION...As of 1955Z, mosaic radar imagery showed a broken band
   of strong to severe storms from near Mobile west along the MS coast
   through New Orleans to south of Baton Rouge. The western segment of
   the thunderstorm band from St. John the Baptist to Ascension and St.
   James Parishes has developed an organized cold pool with updrafts
   exhibiting some forward-propagational characteristics, suggestive of
   an enhanced damaging wind threat. There, severe gusts up to 65 mph
   appear possible as that segment of storms continues south toward the
   coast. Elsewhere, expect the damaging wind threat to be more
   sporadic in nature through mid to late afternoon.
