    Areas affected...portions of southeast LA and southern MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 061337Z - 061637Z

    Summary...Training thunderstorms are possible over the next few
    hours roughly between Baton Rouge LA and Prentiss MS. Hourly rain
    amounts to 2.5" and additional local totals are possible where
    cell training occurs, which would be most problematic in recently
    saturated and urban areas.

    Discussion...A training band of convection remains active across
    south-central MS at the present time, while another area of slowly
    developing scattered convection near Baton Rouge aligning.
    Precipitable water values are around 2.25" per GPS data. ML CAPE
    of 500-1000 J/kg persists to the southeast of a low- to mid-level
    disturbance near southeast AR. Effective bulk shear across the
    region is 20 kts or so, which has fostered convective organization
    at times.

    The concern is that the scattered aligned convection in LA
    continues to slowly build, consolidate, and train in the next few
    hours, potentially advecting downstream into areas that receieved
    5-10" of rain this morning per radar estimates. The remaining
    convective band is also a source of concern for another 2-3 hours.
    Where training occurs, hourly amounts to 2.5" with additional
    local amounts to 4" would be possible, which would be most
    problematic in urban areas and were soils have recently saturated.
