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.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 7:20 PM CDT, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
720 PM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009
...SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK AND FLOODING POTENTIAL EXPECTED TONIGHT...
.UPDATE...ACTIVE WEATHER NIGHT UNDERWAY FOR THE ARKLAMISS. LARGE MID
LEVEL LOW WAS NOTED OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE WITH THE ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW OVER THE RED RIVER. AS THIS SYSTEM SHIFTS EAST NORTHEAST
TONIGHT WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL SPREAD ACROSS OUR AREA. TORNADO
WATCHES HAVE ALREADY BEEN POSTED AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM INCLUDING
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ZONES. HAVE UPDATED FOR THE WATCHES
INCLUDING INCREASING SKY COVER...POPS AND WEATHER TO BRING STORMS IN
EARLIER IN THE SOUTH. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
NIGHT AND ADDITIONAL UPDATES ARE LIKELY. /22/
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM...ACTIVE NIGHT CAN BE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION TONIGHT. CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS
THE STALLED BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
CWFA. THE SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL BE MOVING TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS
REGION LATER THIS EVENING IS POSITIONED OVER NORTH CENTRAL TO
NORTHEAST TX...WITH STORMS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER EAST TX THE
PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS THE
STRONG UPPER LOW DIGGING INTO THE TX PANHANDLE.
AS THE UPPER LOW TRAVERSES TOWARD THE REGION THE SURFACE LOW IS
EXPECTED TO NORTHEAST TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS REGION...REACHING THE
ARKLATEX BY THIS EVENING AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI DURING THE EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BRING A BROKEN LINE OF INTENSE
STORMS THROUGH THE REGION WHICH WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY FOR ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER. THERE WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY FOR
INDIVIDUAL CELLS TO DEVELOP AND MOVE AHEAD OF THE LINE WHICH WILL
BRING AN ENHANCED TORNADO RISK FOR THE REGIONS. CURRENT THINKING FOR
TIMING WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER IS THAT THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE CWFA
WILL SEE THEIR MAIN RISK BETWEEN 5 PM AND MIDNIGHT...THE CENTRAL
THIRD BETWEEN 7 PM AND 3 AM...AND THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CWFA
BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 7 AM. EXPECT ALL SEVERE WEATHER TO BE OUT OF
THE CWFA SOON AFTER DAYBREAK.
CURRENTLY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS MOST OF THE ARKLAMISS
UNDER A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS. GENERALLY AGREE WITH THIS
ASSESSMENT AS SEVERAL PARAMETERS WILL BE IN PLACE. THERE IS GOING TO
BE PLENTY OF SHEAR TO WORK WITH. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY AS WELL WITH MLCAPES OF AROUND 2K J/KG. MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE 7 C/KM. AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF
MOISTURE AVAILABLE WITH DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE MIDDLE 60S AND
PWATS AROUND OR ABOVE 1.7 INCHES. SO EVERYTHING SHOULD BE IN PLACE
TO SEE AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION
INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TORNADOES.
IN ADDITION TO SEVERE WEATHER THE REGION WILL HAVE A FLOODING
POTENTIAL. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS MUCH OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION
HAS RECEIVED A FEW INCHES OF RAIN. WITH ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS
AND HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED AS THESE STORMS MOVE THROUGH...THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE
FOR LOW LYING AREAS AND LOCATIONS NEAR RIVER BASINS WHICH ARE
ALREADY EITHER IN OR APPROACHING FLOOD. SO AS A RESULT A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWFA THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING.
ON SATURDAY THE SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY
DAYBREAK WITH SOME LINGERING SHOWERS BEHIND...WHICH SHOULD MOVE OUT
BY MIDDAY. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE MAY BE SQUEEZED OUT OVER THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWFA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE ONCE
THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
ONE THING TO NOTE FOR SATURDAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS. WINDS AT LEAST
OVER THE DELTA REGION WILL BE RATHER GUSTY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF
15-20KTS AND HIGHER GUSTS. THIS AREA WILL LIKELY NEED A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY FOR SATURDAY. HOWEVER WITH SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING
CONCERNS TONIGHT EXPECTED...HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON ISSUING THE
LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR NOW. BUT THESE GUSTY WINDS WILL NEED TO BE
KEPT IN MIND FOR SATURDAY BEHIND THIS STRONG FRONT.
FOR TEMPERATURES HAVE REMAINED RATHER CLOSE TO GUI FOR THE SHORT
TERM. WENT AHEAD AND INCREASED LOWS IN THE FAR EAST BY A COUPLE
DEGREES FOR TONIGHT WITH LINGERING CLOUDS AND WEATHER AROUND THROUGH
THE NIGHT EXPECTED. HAVE REMAINED WITH GUI IN THE WEST WHERE COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
BEHIND THE FRONT. /14/
PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...DRY
WEATHER(PWATS LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH) AT THE START OF THE WEEK WILL
FEATURE A WEAK PACIFIC SURFACE HIGH(1018MB) CENTER OVER NRN FL
MOVING E. A CENTRAL PLAINS UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THE MS
VALLEY BY MONDAY EVENING AND PROVIDE THE NEXT GOOD CHANCE FOR
TRANSIENT SHRA/TSRA IN OUR CWFA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS PWATS
PUSH BACK TO NEAR 1.4 INCHES. K INDEXES REACH 30-35 WITH NEAR ZERO
SHOWALTERS IN 25KTS OF 850MB THETA E AIR NEAR 322K. BY LATER ON
TUESDAY...WE EXPECT A STALLING FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO BE SITUATED OVER
THE COASTAL REGION WITH MID LEVEL DRYING TO THE N KEEPING POPS DOWN
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THEN A MORE POTENT STORM SYSTEM
DIGS BACK DOWN THE RED RIVER VALLEY INTO THE ARKLATEX ON THURSDAY
BRINGING US ANOTHER CHANCE OF STRONGER CONVECTION IN A BAND OF
1.5+INCH PWATS. WILL HOLD OFF MENTIONING ANY STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA
IN THE HWOJAN FOR NEXT THURSDAY UNTIL BETTER CONFIDENCE BETWEEN
ECMWF AND GFS SOLUTIONS.
HAVE LOWERED POPS SLIGHTLY FROM MEX MOS DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK BETWEEN MAIN SHORTWAVE IMPULSES. AFTER A CHILLY START TO MONDAY
WITH WIDESPREAD LOWS IN THE 40S...TEMPERATURE REGIME LOOKS PRETTY
CLOSE TO NORMS AND RATHER REASONABLE WITH MOST HIGHS 70-75F AND LOWS
IN THE 50S./40/
&&
.AVIATION...UPDATED...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
TONIGHT ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TONIGHT WILL BRING
LIFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. THE ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT THE SOUTH
INITIALLY THIS EVENING THEN SPREAD FROM THE WEST TO EAST ALONG AND
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 14Z
SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE AT TIMES.
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY MORNING
AND QUIET WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND.
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY ON SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS BETWEEN 15-20 KTS POSSIBLE WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THIS WILL
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THE DELTA REGION INCLUDING GLH AND GWO. /22/

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY DANGEROUS SEVERE WEATHER WILL DEVELOP OVER THE ARKLAMISS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. STRONG LONG TRACK TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS OF 80 MILES AN HOUR OR HIGHER AND LARGE GOLFBALL SIZE HAIL OR LARGER WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS THAT WILL BE PRODUCED BY STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. THE TWO MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...INTENSE WIND SHEAR AND DEEP MOISTURE...WILL CONTINUE OVER THE ARKLAMISS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND EAST CENTRAL LOUISIANA BEFORE SUNSET...WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL ZONES THIS EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES FROM TEXAS INTO LOUISIANA. SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG LONG LIVED TORNADOES AS WELL AS DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO FORM INTO A LINE OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE STORMS THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS EAST MISSISSIPPI AFTER MIDNIGHT. TORNADOES...DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS. IN ADDITION...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL THAT WILL RESULT IN LOCALIZED RAIN AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY GUSTY SOUTHWEST WIND WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT SATURDAY. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS FROM 15 TO 25 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA AREA WITH POSSIBLE GUSTS FROM 30 TO 40 MPH.
