The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 3, 7:55 PM CDT, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 7:55 PM CDT, 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
755 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2008

.UPDATED...HAD TO SHIFT GEARS AND EXTEND BOTH FFA AND LWA FOR WRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA FOR TONIGHT. TOR WW 887 ALSO IN EFFECT W OF A
COLUMBIA TO ACKERMAN LINE TIL 07Z. RAINFALL RATES HAVE BECOME VERY
IMPRESSIVE ONCE AGAIN ALONG THE PRIMARY CONVECTIVE BAND IN WRN MS.
KGLH HAS REPORTED 2.74 INCHES IN ABOUT 1.75 HRS. ALSO GETTING MORE
OF A SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURE TO CELLS ALONG THE BAND VERSUS PREVIOUS
TROPICAL SPIN UP TORNADOES. WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR CELLS
AHEAD OF THE LINE ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY OFF TO THE EAST
APPEARS TO BE DYING OUT WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. BARRING ANY
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST...WE PROBABLY COULD DROP SOME WRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA FROM THE WATCHES AS THE LINE PROGRESSES EWD
ACROSS THE MS RIVER LATER THIS EVENING.

FINALLY...GUSTAV CIRCULATION DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE MOVING AGAIN
TOWARD THE NE AND SHOULD EVENTUALLY GET US OUT OF THE CONSTANT
POUNDING ROUTINE BY THURSDAY NIGHT./40/

PORTIONS OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOW: SENT OUT A PUBLIC INFORMATION
STATEMENT...COURTESY OF OUR MIC/SENIOR HYDROLOGIST. GUSTAV STORM TOTALS
RANGED UP TO 20 INCHES AT JIGGER LOUISIANA.

SHORT RANGE AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWS THAT THE REMNANTS OF
GUSTAV WILL PUSH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI BY EARLY THURSDAY. THIS WILL
HELP TO DIMINISH THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL FOR THURSDAY. A SURFACE
BOUNDARY WILL BE TRAILING THE LOW PRESSURE AREA. WE WILL BE GETTING
BACK TO A MORE DIURNAL PATTERN AS WE GET TOWARD THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK. THE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
WE WILL BE GETTING SOME RAINS WITH IT IN A MORE CONVECTIVE NATURE.
THE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE
THE ARKLAMISS TO DRY OUT FROM THE WEST ON LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN BELIEVE THAT MODELS ARE GOING
TOO COOL WITH TEMPS WITH A WET GROUND AND GRADUALLY DECREASING CLOUDS
AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT. SO MADE SOME SLIGHT
UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS. WITH DAILY HIGHS WENT CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE.
LOWS WILL BE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S FOR TONIGHT...LOWER 70S
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND NEAR 70 TO LOWER 70S FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. DAILY
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S./17/

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE PRODUCING IFR
VISIBILITIES ACROSS MAINLY WRN HALF OF THE AREA THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY
MORNING. ALSO EXPECTING AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT WITH
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS AT MOST LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE RAIN
BANDS THROUGH AT LEAST DAYBREAK. MORE WIDESPREAD VFR PERIODS SHOULD
BE SEEN AT TIMES AFTER ABOUT 16Z THURSDAY AS RAIN BANDS BECOME FEWER
AND MORE CELLULAR OVER TIME./40/
