Well its still unclear if the current set of storms in LA are going to fracture into distinct supercelluar echoes or if they will congeal into a squall line. Those storms are closer to the cold front so there is more synoptic scale forcing that could easily congeal the line into a squall. If it moves out ahead of this boundary though, then we may get the more discrete formation we have seen with the cells in MS
