   Areas affected...Far East Texas and Southwest Louisiana

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 233...

   Valid 121904Z - 122100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 233 continues.

   SUMMARY...Large to hail to 2 inches will be possible with storms in
   WW 233. The tornado risk will focus along the Louisiana coast as a
   storm tracks along and just south of the warm front.

   DISCUSSION...Storms north of the warm front will continue to pose
   primarily a threat for large hail up to 2 inches as these storms
   will remain elevated. Farther south, a storm in far southwest
   Louisiana has produced 2 inch hail and a 49 kt wind gust in the
   Beaumont, TX vicinity. This storm, which appears to be along or just
   south of the warm front, will also pose the greatest risk for a
   tornado over the next 1-2 hours. This storm has shown varying
   degrees of low-level organization over the past hour.
