JCWhat 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 5, 4:23 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 4:23 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 423 AM CDT THU APR 5 2012 .DISCUSSION... TODAY... ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WE GO THROUGH MUCH OF TODAY. EARLY THIS MORNING...THE SLOW-MOVING UPPER LOW HAS PICKED UP SPEED AND THE CENTER IS CURRENTLY CROSSING THE OZARKS. THE BEST CONVECTIVE REGIME EXISTS SOUTHEAST OF THE LOW CENTER AND INCLUDES PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS ALONG AND WEST OF THE MS RIVER. THE AIRMASS IN THIS REGION IS CHARACTERIZED BY MOST UNSTABLE CAPE APPROACHING 2000 J/KG...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH TT VALUES IN THE MID 50S...EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR ~50 KTS...AND RELATIVELY WEAK LOW LEVEL SHEAR/HELICITY. A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS AND A FEW OTHER DISCRETE CELLS MANAGED TO DEVELOP IN THIS ENVIRONMENT AS STRONGER HEIGHT FALLS/ASCENT APPROACHED THE ARKLAMISS AND THEY HAVE PRODUCED LARGE HAIL. EXPECT THE BETTER CONVECTIVE REGIME DESCRIBED ABOVE TO SHIFT EAST WITH TIME...COINCIDING WITH DIURNAL HEATING WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY MAXIMIZE INSTABILITY OVER ERN MS. ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH ADDITIONAL LOBES OF VORTICITY ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME HEATING...POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL BROKEN TSTM LINE SEGMENTS AS WE GO INTO THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS EAST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR. WHILE A COUPLE OF TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT...VEERED AND RELATIVELY WEAK LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL MITIGATE THE OVERALL TORNADO RISK AND HAIL/WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISKS. EXPECT THE RISK FOR STORMS TO END QUICKLY AND SHIFT EAST OF THE ARKLAMISS AS THE EVENING APPROACHES. AS WE GO FROM TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED HEIGHT RISES WILL BRING A RETURN TO DRY AND QUIET CONDITIONS WITH SEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES FOR THE ARKLAMISS. /EC/ SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY... LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH A VERY NICE WEEKEND ON TAP FOR THE ARKLAMISS. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. THE GFS DRAGS A BOUNDARY ACROSS THE STATE ON SUNDAY...AND THIS MAY KICK OFF SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ALONG WITH NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER WEAK/DRY COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE STATE TUESDAY MORNING. THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE ON WEDNESDAY AS THE EAST COAST TROUGH SHIFTS TO THE EAST AND WEAK UPPER RIDGING MOVES OVER THE AREA. THE GFS/ECMWF DIVERGE ON THERE SOLUTIONS AS WE GET INTO MID-LATE WEEK...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BECOME ACTIVE DURING THIS PERIOD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG-SEVERE STORMS ON THURSDAY. STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPS/POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE MODELS SEEM TO BE ON TRACK./15/ && .AVIATION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING LARGE HAIL WILL POSE A BIG AVIATION HAZARD TODAY IN THE FORECAST AREA...BUT EXPECT STORMS TO END FROM WEST TO EAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR CONDITIONS THEN PREVAILING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. /EC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
