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 5, 8:20 AM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 8:20 AM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
820 AM CDT THU APR 5 2012

.UPDATE...PER COORDINATION WITH SPC WE HAVE EXTENDED THE TORNADO
WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE ARKLAMISS REGION UNTIL 11 AM. CURRENTLY THE LINE
OF SEVERE STORMS IS PUSHING EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR FROM
JACKSON METRO TO KOSCIUSKO. LATEST SATELLITE SHOWED THE CLOSED UPPER
LOW OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS. WILL MAKE NO OTHER CHANGES IN THE
FORECAST FOR NOW./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...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/
