What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 3, 9:39 PM CST, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 9:39 PM CST, 1 hour 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
939 PM CST MON MAR 3 2008

.UPDATE...WILL NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
TWEAKED THE HOURLY VALUES TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS.
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS WERE FALLING FAST BEHIND THE BOUNDARY.
TEMPERATURES AROUND GLH WERE ALREADY DOWN TO 49 DEGREES. THE CENTER
OF THE LOW APPEARED TO BE RIGHT OVER CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND STORMS
WERE REALLY FIRING UP OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...WHERE
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WERE BETTER. WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WERE
PICKING UP ACROSS THE EAST ALSO...WITH SEVERAL OBS REPORTING WIND
GUSTS NEAR 60MPH. A LKY IS IN EFFECT...SO WILL HANDLE THE GUSTY WINDS
WITH AN SPS SINCE IT WILL BE SHORT-TERM EFFECT AHEAD OF THE LINE.
OTHERWISE...WILL NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED EAST OF GLH...WITH A SHOWERS
LINGERING OVER THE AREA. LIGHT RAIN AND LOW CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THE RAIN SHOULD END AROUND 6Z...BUT CEILINGS WILL
LIKELY REMAIN FROM 1000-1500 FT. AT THIS TIME...LOOKS LIKE CEILINGS
WILL LOWER TO 500FT AROUND 9Z. COLD AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION...SO OVER-RUNNING PRECIP MAY BE A MIX OF VERY LIGHT RAIN AND
SNOW. THE TIMING HAS CHANGED A LITTLE...WITH THE MODELS SUGGESTING
IT WILL BE EARLY TO MID MORNING BEFORE ANYTHING DEVELOPS. SIMILAR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY AT GWO AND EVENTUALLY GTR. WILL NOT MAKE ANY
BIG CHANGES FROM THE CURRENT FORECAST. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY
FOR HBG AND MEI WITHING THE HOUR. RAINFALL HAS REDUCED VISIBILITIES
TO LESS THAN A MILE IN THUNDERSTORMS AND WIND GUSTS WERE AROUND
40KTS. CEILINGS HAVE REMAINED AROUND 1500FT OR GREATER. SHOULD SEE
LOWER CEILINGS BRIEFLY IN THUNDERSTORMS. HOLDING THUNDERSTORMS IN
FOR THOSE AREAS THROUGH 8Z SEEMS OK...WILL AMEND AS NEEDED. SHOWERS
AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH GTR...WILL GO WITH
CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO GWO THROUGH 6Z. EXPECTING CEILINGS AROUND
500FT TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA FROM 6-9Z. CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE THROUGH 18Z. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AFTER 18Z...WITH
WINDS BELOW 10KTS AND CEILINGS GREATER 3KFT. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR
ACROSS THE REGION BY 00Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
