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 3, 4:01 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 4:01 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 401 PM CDT TUE APR 3 2012 .DISCUSSION...LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY DUE TO DAYTIME HEATING AND THE PRESENCE OF A COUPLE OF BOUNDARIES/SHEAR AXIS OVER THE CWA HAS RESULTED IN ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION THAT WAS ALIGNED NORTH TO SOUTH OVER AREAS EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR IS MOVING EAST AND HAS BEEN DISSIPATING...BUT CONVECTION THAT'S MOVING THROUGH THE DELTA REGION IS PROPAGATING SOUTHEAST AS THE RESULT OF A SOUTHEAST SINKING BOUNDARY. THIS ACTIVITY HAD BECOME A BIT MORE ORGANIZED...BUT IS LOOKING MORE DISORGANIZED THE LAST HOUR. MANY HIGH-RES MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING A COMPLEX OF STORMS DIVING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. AS I ELUDE TO ABOVE...THIS MORE SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATION OF ACTIVITY OVER THE DELTA ALONG THIS SOUTHEAST SINKING BOUNDARY LOOKS TO BE WHAT THESE HIGH-RES MODELS HAVE BEEN HINTING AT. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL 10PM AS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL CONTINUE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT EXISTS WITH THESE STORMS. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AFTER SUNSET...ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN IN INTENSITY AS THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO PROCEED SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. A GOOD BIT OF UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO HOW THINGS WILL PAN OUT EXACTLY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A WIDE ARRAY OF DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST WITHIN BOTH THE HIGH-RES AND GLOBAL MODEL SOLUTIONS. A LULL IN ACTIVITY IS FORECAST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO RE-FIRE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY AND INTO LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. DESPITE ACTIVITY FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN...AND EVEN RECOVER A BIT...IN ABUNDANCE IN THIS WARM AND MOISTURE AIRMASS CURRENTLY OVER THE REGION. THIS COUPLED WITH GOOD FORCING FROM THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION...ADEQUATE WIND SHEAR...AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL SET THE STAGE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO EXIST ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WITH CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS DURING THIS TIME...WITH A FEW TORNADOES ALSO POSSIBLE. /19/ THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD STILL BE POSSIBLE FOR AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR FOR THURSDAY MORNING AS THE CLOSED UPPER LOW BEGINS TO OPEN UP AND MOVE ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS. SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD STILL BE RATHER VIGOROUS DURING THE EARLY MORNING OVER SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS THE MOISTURE AXIS HANGS UP. THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP/INTENSIFY DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING (MIXED LAYER CAPE ~1500 J/KG) AND FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH A FEW VORTICITY LOBES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW. GLOBAL MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW WILL BE LARGELY VEERED AND SUPPORTIVE OF PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZED/BROKEN TSTM LINE SEGMENTS AND DISCRETE CELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS --- INCREASING LCL HEIGHTS IN THE WELL-MIXED AIR MASS AND VEERED PROFILES SHOULD LIMIT TORNADO POTENTIAL. THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL REBUILD OVER THE ARKLAMISS BRINGING A RETURN TO DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND. MODELS DIVERGE THEREAFTER WITH THE GFS/GEFS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE BRINGING THE NEXT BOUNDARY INTO THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE SLOWED DOWN INTRODUCTION OF RAIN CHANCES UNTIL SUNDAY GIVEN THE EXPECTED PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE WHICH WILL LIKELY SLOW THE FRONTAL PROGRESSION. THERE MAY BE A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN NEXT WEEK WITH MODELS SHOWING SIGNALS FOR RETROGRESSION OF THE MEAN RIDGE POSITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG EASTERN CONUS TROUGH. THIS WOULD INDUCE COOL NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE ARKLAMISS AND A PERIOD OF COOL WEATHER AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. /EC/ && .AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE WEST IN ASSOCIATION WITH A STORM COMPLEX MOVING THROUGH THE DELTA REGION. AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO PROGRESS SOUTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. SITES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY CONVECTION DURING THIS TIME...CAN EXPECT BRIEF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THERE COULD BE SOME WIND GUSTS AND HAIL WITH THESE STORMS. CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE AFTER SUNSET. MVFR CONDITIONS RETURN TONIGHT AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE OVER THE REGION. /28/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS SHIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. THE GREATEST RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM GRENADA TO MERIDIAN. DAMAGING WINDS TO 60 MPH AND HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISK WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AFTER A LULL IN ACTIVITY FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...A RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL REDEVELOP FROM THE WEST WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE EXACT EVOLUTION OF THE WEATHER SETUP WEDNESDAY REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL INCREASE FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND SHIFT INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN MISSISSIPPI DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 65 MPH...AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE MOST INTENSE STORMS ON WEDNESDAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...PRIMARILY SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AS TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD OCCUR. THIS ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH EARLY MORNING HOURS THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP THURSDAY DURING THE DAY...PRIMARILY EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO BRING SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. IT APPEARS THE PRIMARY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE FOR HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH. STORMS WILL END OVER THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA BY THURSDAY EVENING. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS MAY BE NEEDED AT TIMES THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
