JAWhat 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 2, 4:55 PM CST, 5 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 4:55 PM CST, 5 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 455 PM CST FRI MAR 2 2012 ...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... .UPDATE...THIS IS A QUICK UPDATE TO ADD TORNADO WATCH 64 FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI...TO EXPAND SVR TSTORM WATCH 60 FOR PORTIONS OF SW MISSISSIPPI...AND TO REMOVE BOLIVAR AND ASHLEY COUNTIES FROM SVR WATCH 60. /DL/ && .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 319 PM CST FRI MAR 2 2012/ MESOSCALE UPDATE...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS INTO WEST CENTRAL LOUISIANA JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS UPPER LEVEL ASCENT...CLEARLY VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...OVERSPREADS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AREA ALSO HAS FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC/SHEAR COMBO WITH EFFECTIVE DEEP SHEAR OF 50 TO 60 KT AND SBCAPE NEAR 2000 J/KG. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT E AHEAD OF FRONT AND AFFECT THE ARKLAMISS DELTA REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. EXPECT THAT THE TORNADO RISK IS LOWER IN THIS AREA AS LOW LEVEL WINDS HAVE ALREADY VEERED AROUND...HENCE WE HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH VERSUS A TORNADO WATCH FOR THIS AREA. FARTHER EAST...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPING N/NE OF KJAN IN THE NEW TORNADO WATCH AREA. CURRENTLY THIS AREA IS NOT QUITE AS FAVORABLE FROM A THERMODYNAMIC SENSE...AS AN AREA OF LOWER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS RESULTED IN DEWPOINTS DOWN AROUND 60F AND SBCAPE VALUES ONLY AROUND 1000 J/KG. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS MUCH MORE FAVORABLE AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS AS PRESSURE FALLS MOVING INTO THE AREA KEEP LOW LEVEL FLOW FROM VEERING AS MUCH AS AREAS FARTHER WEST. BETTER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS CURRENTLY SURGING INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH...AND EXPECT THAT CONDITIONS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY CONDUCIVE FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE REGION. RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS MAINTAIN FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILE FOR TORNADIC STORMS OVER EAST CENTRAL REGIONS THROUGH ABOUT 03Z...AND EXPECT THAT AREAS EAST OF I-55 WILL BE THE AREAS THAT HAVE THE GREATEST TORNADO POTENTIAL AS STORMS CONTINUE TO INCREASE AHEAD OF FRONT IN UNCAPPED WARM SECTOR. THIS IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY 4KM SPC WRF WHICH SHOWS BEST SUPERCELLS WITH STRONG UPDRAFT HELICITY OVER EAST CENTRAL AREAS BETWEEN 22Z AND 03Z. FARTHER WEST...INCREASING WIND POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY BE OBSERVED WITH MIXED MODE OF BOWS AND SUPERCELLS...ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL UP TO GOLF BALL SIZED WITH MOST INTENSE CORES. /AEG/ SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...LATER ON TONIGHT ACTIVITY WILL BECOME MORE FOCUSED ALONG THE COLD FRONT WHICH IS CURRENTLY ENTERING THE NW CORNER OF THE CWA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE WEATHER...WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. TORNADOES WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT NOT AS LIKELY AS LOW LEVEL WINDS CONTINUE TO VEER AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CURRENT TIMING HAS THE FRONT MOVING PAST THE GLH/GWO AREA AROUND 00Z...THROUGH THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE AND JACKSON METRO AREAS AROUND 03-04Z...THROUGH THE MEI/BROOKHAVEN AREA AROUND 06Z...AND THROUGH THE PINE BELT AROUND 09Z. SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST BEHIND THE FRONT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. FOR SATURDAY GUIDANCE POPS HAVE COME UP FROM PREVIOUS RUNS... PARTICULARLY OVER THE SE HALF OF THE AREA. THERE WILL STILL BE QUITE A BIT OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE HANGING AROUND BEHIND THE FRONT AND A FAIRLY STRONG UPPER IMPULSE PASSING THROUGH. SO WE COULD SEE SOME POST FRONTAL SHOWER ACTIVITY PERSISTING...MAINLY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING PAST THE AREA...WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ON SUNDAY BRINGING NEARLY SEASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THE WIND ADVISORY THAT WAS IN EFFECT THROUGH 22Z WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. GUSTY WINDS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA...BUT THESE ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. /DL/ LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...MEDIUM RANGE/LONG TERM CONTINUES TO LOOK QUIET WITH THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS BEING TEMPS. THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SWING THROUGH THE AREA ON SAT AND HELP PUSH SOUTHWARD COOLER/DRIER AIR UNDER NW FLOW ALOFT. THIS COOLER AIR WILL HANG AROUND UNTIL TUE...BEFORE SOME MODERATION OCCURS BY MID WEEK. FOR THE MOST PART...GFS GUID TEMPS WERE DECENT AND WERE FOLLOWED. HOWEVER...SOME ADJUSTMENTS WERE NEEDED AT A FEW SITES BASED OFF ENSEMBLE GUID AND SUPPORT FROM THE EURO. MOST OF THESE LOW END MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO HIGHS SUN/MON/TUE. OVERALL...NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIP LOOKS TO WAIT UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK. /CME/ && .AVIATION...SEVERE TSRA HAS BEGUN DEVELOPING ACROSS AREAS N OF I-20...ALONG THE COLD FRONT BACK IN NE LA/SE AR/NW MS...AND OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS NE MS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE MOST OF THE REGION THRU THE REST OF THE AFTN...GRADUALLY MAKING ITS WAT SE AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SEVERE TSRA WILL END ACROSS SERN MS AFTER 04Z TONIGHT. SFC WINDS CONTINUE TO BE QUITE GUSTY THIS AFTN...ESPECIALLY UP IN THE DELTA WHERE GUSTS TO 35 OR 40KTS WILL BE PSBL. SFC WINDS WILL DROP OFF THIS EVENING...BUT WILL BECOME NORTHERLY AND GUSTY LATER TONIGHT AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES. /BK/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE.
