...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

...Lower MS Valley...
A weak upper low is tracking northeastward across the TX Panhandle
today, with the subtropical mid-level jet extending from northern
Mexico into the lower MS Valley. Broad large-scale ascent has
resulted in periodic episodes of thunderstorms across TX overnight
and this morning. This regime is expected to shift eastward today
into more of AR/LA and eventually the TN Valley overnight.
Low-level and deep-layer vertical shear is very strong, and there is
a low probability of a strong storm or two across northeast LA into
western/central MS late this afternoon capable of gusty winds.
However, thermodynamics are quite weak and the overall severe threat
appears too low to introduce probabilities.
