What forecasters said that day

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 Oct 15, 8:42 PM CDT, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 15, 8:42 PM CDT, 1 hour 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
842 PM CDT THU OCT 15 2009

.UPDATE...COLD FRONT STILL PUSHING THROUGH THE CWA AND IS ORIENTATED
GENERALLY FROM HEZ TO MEI AS OF 01Z. HEAVIEST AND STRONG CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY IS LOCATED MAINLY ACROSS THE FAR S PORTION OF THE CWA OR
EVEN S OF THE CWA. LOOK FOR THAT TREND TO CONTINUE WITH THE AREAS S
OF I-20 SEEING THE BEST PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH 03-06Z. EVEN WITH
THAT...THERE IS A SOLID ASCENT AREA WHICH HAS JUST ENTERED THE N
PORTION OF THE CWA AND IS SQUEEZING OUT A RIBBON OF LIGHT RAIN AND
THAT MAY HOLD TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS.

FOLLOWING CURRENT TRENDS ON PRECIP AND TEMPS...SOME ADJ WERE NEEDED
TO THE FORECAST. I ACTUALLY MADE SOME ADJ EARLIER TO POPS/WX TO MATCH
RADAR TREND BEFORE 6-7PM AND THOSE ARE WORKING OUT. I JUST HAD TO ADJ
HOURLY TEMPS QUITE A BIT TO COVER THE LARGE GRADIENT ACROSS THE FRONT.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST SEEMS ON TRACK AND I WILL ATTACH THE PREV
LONG TERM DISCUSSION. FALL IS FINALLY ARRIVING AND WE WILL SEE THE
COLDEST AIR SO FAR THIS FALL SEASON THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. /CME/

PREV LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...BY FRIDAY EVENING THE
COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL SOUTH OF OUR CWA AND OVER THE NORTHERN GULF.
HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BEGIN BUILDING INTO OUR AREA FROM
THE NORTH BUT A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS. COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RESULT BY
SATURDAY MORNING. DESPITE OUR RATHER MOIST SOILS CAA IS EXPECTED TO
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO RESULT IN MORNING LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 40S.
LATEST MAV GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES WERE AMONG THE WARMEST ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS FOR SATURDAY MORNING SO HAVE CUT MORNING LOWS CLOSER TO
ENSEMBLE MEANS. MODELS AGREE THAT A POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL DROP SOUTH
OUT OF CANADA AND DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE EASTERN CONUS UPPER
TROUGH SATURDAY AND BRING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR TO OUR
REGION FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. ACCOMPANYING THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE A
1030MB HIGH. MODELS DO INDICATE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH THIS SYSTEM THAT LOOKS TO FIZZLE OUT BY
THE TIME IT GETS TO OUR CWA. THE RESULTING MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER AND
DEEP NORTH FLOW WILL MAKE FOR A CHILLY SATURDAY WHERE MOST SITES
SHOULD TOP OUT NEAR 60 DEGREES. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST OF
OUR CWA SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE SFC HIGH BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. CLOUDS SHOULD DECREASE ACROSS OUR AREA ALLOW
FOR THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE FALL SEASON THUS FAR. THE GFS IS A
LITTLE COOLER THAN THE ECMWF BUT THE 850MB ZERO DEGREE ISOTHERM IS
EXPECTED TO BE OVER OUR NORTHEAST WITH 925MB TEMPS OF 1-2C. WITH THE
SURFACE HIGH NORTHWEST OF THE AREA THE WINDS SHOULD ALLOW ENOUGH
MIXING TO KEEP PRIME RADIATIONAL COOLING FROM OCCURRING BUT MORNING
LOWS SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. SOME SITES IN
THE NORTHEAST MAY SEE A LIGHT FROST. AGAIN LATEST MAV GUIDANCE WAS
AMONG THE WARMEST ENSEMBLE MEMBER AND HAVE TRIMMED A FEW DEGREES OFF
THE MORNING LOWS. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY
WHILE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MOVES OVER THE REGION. ALTHOUGH
TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE COOLER THAN NORMAL SUNDAY...WL SEE A
WARMING TREND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. BY TUESDAY SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE MID ATLANTIC SEABOARD WHILE
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. THUS MOISTURE WILL BEGIN INCREASING TUESDAY AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM. THE GFS
IS MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF AND HAS AN OPEN TROUGH WITH A SFC
LOW WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA. THE GFS BRINGS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
AND NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS OUR CWA WEDNESDAY. THE ECMWF
CLOSES OFF A LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW MUCH CLOSER TO OUR CWA. THE ECMWF SOLUTION WOULD ALSO RESULT IN
A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT FOR OUR REGION THURSDAY. FOR NOW WL LEAN
TOWARD THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS SOLUTION AND LOOK FOR SOME
CONTINUITY IN LATER RUNS. /22/

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN FOCUS IN THE TAF DEPARTMENT WILL BE WITH WINDS AND
LINGERING CEILINGS. LOOK FOR MOSTLY MVFR CEILINGS WITH A MIX OF IFR
BETWEEN NOW AND 09-12Z. THERE IS SOME CHANCE CEILINGS MAY BREAK WITH
JUST SOME SCT STRATO CU FOR FRI AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...I HAVE A FEELING
THAT THE CLOUDS WILL BE TOUGH TO GET OUT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY
MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE PERIOD. /CME/
