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 Apr 20, 5:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 5:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
527 PM CDT WED APR 20 2011

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NORTH OF
THE AREA AND OVER EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. THE BOUNDARY STILL REMAINS FROM GREENWOOD BACK INTO
NORTHEAST TEXAS...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FIRING ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY TO THE WEST SEEMS TO BE MOVING NORTH AND EAST WITH A WEAK
UPPER WAVE. DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH HAS BEEN SLOW. THE MODELS
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THE BOUNDARY WILL SINK FURTHER SOUTH AND STORMS
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. WITH THE BOUNDARY
STALLED AND THE WAVE TO THE WEST NOT HELPING TO MOVE THE SYSTEM OUT
OF THE AREA...IT IS UNCLEAR HOW FAR SOUTH TO EXPECT THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. WILL NOT ADJUST THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING AT THIS
TIME...SINCE STORMS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN EAST OF THE RIVER ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE
BOUNDARY ALL COUNTIES WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH FOR THE DURATION.

THE LOCAL MODELS WERE SUGGESTING THE BEST WIND AND HAIL POTENTIAL
WILL REMAIN OVER EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. THERE WERE SOME BREAKS IN
THE CLOUDS...WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED IN THE MID AND UPPER
80S. THE BEST INSTABILITY WAS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA...SO
EXPECTING STORMS OVER THE AREA TO INTENSIFY QUICKLY THROUGH AT LEAST
SUNSET. ANTICIPATING THE INSTABILITY TO CONTINUE TO LESSEN THROUGH
THE EVENING...BUT THE FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY INCREASE.
SHOWERS WERE FINALLY STARTING TO DEVELOP TO THE SOUTH AND
WEST...BASICALLY RIGHT ON THE BOUNDARY. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW ON THE
RADAR SHOWS THE AREA OF CONVERGENCE...GENERALLY STRETCHING FROM
BASTROP LOUISIANA TO TCHULA TO STARKVILLE...SO ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
INCREASE SHORTLY AND CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

FOR THE FORECAST...MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82
CORRIDOR THROUGH TONIGHT...EXPECTING THE BEST STORMS AND HEAVY RAIN
TO REMAIN OVER THAT AREA. THE BOUNDARY/UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT
NORTH THURSDAY...AS THE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST US RETROGRADES.
LOOKING FOR THE RAIN TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH ONLY ISOLATED ACTIVITY LINGERING THROUGH 03-6Z.
MAINTAINED HEAVY RAINFALL WORDING...WITH SO MUCH MOISTURE FLOWING
INTO THE AREA. WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE EXTENDING THE FFA THROUGH 00Z
THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER BY FRIDAY AND THE AREA WILL BE
GENERALLY DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE MAY BE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.

WENT WITH GUIDANCE TEMPS...MID TO UPPER 80S SEEM OK FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. WILL SEE SOME VERY WARM LOWS WITH VALUES IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S.

&&

.AVIATION...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS STALLED ACROSS NORTHERNWESTERN MS. SHWRS/TSTMS
WILL PERSIST ACROSS NE MS...WITH DEVELOPMENT BACK TO THE WEST APPROACHING
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. HEAVY RAIN...HAIL AND GUSTY
WINDS XPCTD INVOF THIS ACTIVITY. VFR CONDS WL PERSIST FOR LOCATIONS
ALONG AND S OF I-20 TODAY...WITH MVFR/OCSNL VFR CIG LIKELY CONTINUING
ACROSS NRN MS THRU THE DAY. OUTSIDE OF STORMS SFC WINDS WL BE OUT OF
THE SOUTH IN THE 7-12KT RANGE...WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 18KTS PSBL ACROSS
SRN MS. THE CHANCE FOR SHWRS/TSTMS WL PERSIST N OF I-20 THRU THE
NIGHT TONIGHT. /BK/
