What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Sep 25, 3:35 PM CDT, 5 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 3:35 PM CDT, 5 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
335 PM CDT SUN SEP 25 2011

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING A FEW TORNADOES...POSSIBLE LATE
TODAY INTO TONIGHT...

.SHORT TERM...THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES FROM LATE TODAY
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS A VIGOROUS WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
REGION. AN INTENSE COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO NWRN ZONES AROUND
SUNSET AND LOW LEVEL HELICITY AND SHEAR WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY
ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. STRONG LOW LEVEL SLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND
HEALTHY MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY. A
HEALTHY WAVE DROPPING FROM INTO AR THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO
PIVOT INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL UPPER
SUPPORT. A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THIS AFTERNOON FOR NWRN
ZONES...THIS AREA SITTING ALONG THE SRN FRINGES OF THE CURRENT WATCH
AS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA DURING THE EARLY EVENING.

STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT THAT DEVELOPS TODAY AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE
BOUNDARY...THE MAX EDGING INTO NE LA/NW MS BY 00Z AND SLOWLY
WEAKENING AS IT SWEEPS EWD ACROSS THE AREA...WILL RESULT IN PERIODS
OF HEAVY RAINFALL AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO NEAR 2
INCHES OVER NW MS AND INCREASE WELL ABOVE 1.5 INCHES ALONG AND W OF
THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR. PARAMETERS CONDUCIVE TO STRONG TO SEVERE
CONVECTION WILL SPREAD EWD AND SEWD AS THE BOUNDARY EDGES THIS WAY.
THE BETTER FORCING WILL BE LOCATED OVER NRN ZONES IN CLOSEST
PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LOW. HOWEVER HEALTHY MOISTURE CONVERGENCE...
ALTHOUGH DECREASING AS THE BOUNDARY SWEEPS FARTHER S AND
WEAKENS...WILL CONTINUE STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BY SUNRISE MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THE AREA WITH
THE BEST RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WILL BE NRN...IN PARTICULAR NWRN
ZONES...ONE OR TWO SEVERE STORMS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT LATER TONIGHT
AS FAR SOUTH AS THE I-20 CORRIDOR.

THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE SWEEPING THE BOUNDARY THROUGH MUCH
FASTER THAN EARLIER ADVERTISED...THE NAM PUSHING THE BOUNDARY WELL S
OF I-55 CORRIDOR MONDAY WHILE THE GFS PUSHES IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA BY 00Z TUESDAY. WHEREVER THE BOUNDARY STALLS A
POOL OF MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND TO ITS SOUTH.
WILL KEEP A CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION FOR MONDAY FOR ALL
BUT NWRN ZONES ALONG THE PATH OF THE BOUNDARY AS IT CONTINUES SEWD
DURING THE DAY. THE FASTER PROGRESSION OF THE BOUNDARY HAS RESULTED
IN DRY MAV POPS FOR MONDAY NIGHT OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER WITH
CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY IN THE SWD PROGRESSION OF THE BOUNDARY A
CHANCE OF RAIN AND TSTMS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN THE FORECAST FOR
NOW.

THE AIR MASS REMAINS QUITE UNSTABLE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THE
BOUNDARY FORECAST TO LIFT GRADUALLY NWD WITH TIME. VERTICAL TOTALS
ARE FORECAST FROM THE UPPER 20S MONDAY NIGHT TO LOWER 30S OVER THE
SW TUESDAY AFTN. AN UPPER WAVE MOVES THRU MONDAY EVENING ALONG WITH
ANOTHER WEAK WAVE INDICATED DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. WEAK UPPER
SUPPORT ALONG WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS AN AREA OF
INSTABILITY...ADDING THE POSSIBILITY OF AFTERNOON HEATING...WILL
MAINTAIN AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STRONG POSSIBLY SEVERE
CONVECTION FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT.

HAVE INCREASED LOWS SLIGHTLY IN A FEW PLACES IN THE SHORT TERM...
ESPECIALLY NRN ZONES...OVER LATEST MAV MOS TO REMAIN MORE IN LINE
WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. ALSO UNDERCUT MAV MOS HIGHS SLIGHTLY FOR
A FEW AREAS IN NORTH AND CENTRAL ZONES.

.LONG TERM...THE MID WEEK PORTION OF THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO HAVE
QUESTION MARKS AS A STALLED BOUNDARY WILL LINGER. HIGH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL ALSO EXIST NEAR THE BOUNDARY AND LOOKS TO CONTRIBUTE
TO SOME CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS AS THE SFC BOUNDARY HELPS PROMOTE
SOME CONVERGENCE AND LIFT. FOR LATTER WEEK/WEEKEND...DRIER/COOLER
AIR WILL MOVE IN.

FOR WED/THU...THE SFC BOUNDARY LOOKS TO GET A NUDGE SOUTHWARD AS
STRONGER RIDGING BUILDS TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL PUSH THE LOW END
PRECIP CHANCES TO JUST ACROSS THE SOUTH PORTION OF THE CWA. BY
FRI...A MUCH STRONG FRONT WILL NEAR AND MOVE THROUGH BY FRI NIGHT
BRINGING MUCH COOLER AIR TO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN TRICKY NEAR THE BOUNDARY FOR WED-THU AS
CLOUDS/PRECIP WILL HAVE IMPACTS ON THE READINGS. OVERALL...GUID
VALUES WERE SOLID AND FOLLOWED FOR THIS PERIOD. BY FRI-SAT...MORE
SEASONAL READINGS LOOK TO DEVELOP AND GFS GUID REPRESENTED THAT
WELL. THE ONLY BIG CHANCES WAS TO COOL SUN MORNING AND LEAN MORE
TOWARD THE ENSEMBLE AND RAW GFS TEMPS AS THE COOL AIRMASS WILL BE IN
PLACE. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE DELTA (KGLH AND KGWO) WHERE WINDS WILL GUST
BETWEEN 20-25 KNOTS...AS A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS OVER THE
AREA DUE TO A STRENGTHENING AND APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM
THE WEST.  WHILE MOST SITES WILL REMAIN DRY TODAY... CHANCES FOR
RAIN WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE DELTA REGION BY 22Z.  SOME OF
THE ACTIVITY IN THE DELTA THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT COULD BE
STRONG TO PERHAPS SEVERE AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WIND...HAIL...AND EVEN A TORNADO OR TWO.  AS THE FRONT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS ACTIVITY PUSHES FURTHER SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA
OVERNIGHT...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL ALSO SPREAD FURTHER SOUTHEAST
WHILE WEAKENING IN INTENSITY.  DEEP MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE UNDER SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.  MVFR/LIFR
VISIBILITIES AND/OR CEILINGS DUE TO PATCHY FOG AND LOW STATUS WILL
AGAIN BE POSSIBLE TOWARDS DAY BREAK MONDAY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
EAST AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. /19/
