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 Jul 5, 6:30 PM CDT, 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 6:30 PM CDT, 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
630 PM CDT THU JUL 5 2012

.UPDATE...ADJUSTED OVERNIGHT POPS SLIGHTLY FOR THE CURRENT
TRENDS/COVERAGE. STILL SOME CHANCE FOR NERN/ERN MS TO CATCH A FEW
TSRA BEFORE MIDNIGHT OR SO AS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN AL PROPAGATES
WSWD. LOOK FOR STORMS IN NERN LA TO MOVE WWD THROUGH SUNSET AND
THEN DIE OFF. OTHERWISE...ONLY CHANGES TO SMOOTH HOURLY TEMPS/DWPTS.
/40/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT MOST TAF SITES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT AND FRIDAY. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE WITH STRONG
WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 KNOTS OVER NERN LA BEFORE DYING OFF BY 03Z. THERE
IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION TO CONTINUE NE OF A
GRENADA- MERIDIAN LINE INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS. BRIEF MVFR BR/HZ
WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE 09-14Z FRIDAY...MAINLY WHERE HEAVIER RAINS
FELL LATE THURSDAY. /40/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM CDT THU JUL 5 2012/
CURRENTLY THERE IS SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTH AND WEST OF
OUR AREA ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTHWEST FOR THE AFTERNOON
CONVECTION. THE REST OF THE ACTIVITY IS THE RESULT OF DIURNAL HEATING.
STORM MOTION IS GENERALLY SLOW WITH WESTWARD UPPER LEVEL MOVEMENT.
EVERYTHING IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AS THE SUN GOES DOWN. THE HI-RES
MODELS WERE HINTING AT SOME OVERNIGHT CONVECTION BUT HAVE NOW BACKED
OFF ON THAT IDEA. INCLUDED A MENTION OF IT IN THE HWO JUST IN CASE
THOUGH.

AN AREA OF CONVERGENCE EXISTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF OUR CWA
WITH SURFACE WINDS FROM THE NE AT MEI AND SW WINDS AT NATCHEZ.
THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...SAME GENERAL EXPECTATIONS FOR TOMORROW
AS THE HOT AND VERY MOIST AIR MASS WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED STORMS
MAINLY SOUTH OF I-20 IN THE AFTERNOON. STORMS TOMORROW COULD BE
STRONG TO SEVERE WITH CONDITIONS MUCH LIKE TODAY. PWATS WILL SURGE
NEAR 2 INCHES THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE H5 RIDGE IS
HOLDING OVER MISSOURI NOW AND WILL BEGIN FLATTENING TOMORROW AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL ROTATE
AROUND THE H5 RIDGE AND BRING HIGHER AND MORE SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE
OF RAIN CHANCES TO THE AREA TOMORROW...OVER THE WEEKEND AND EARLY
INTO NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER SINCE MANY
LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED RAIN LATELY. /10/

LONG TERM...INCREASING RAIN CHANCES AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE ON
TAP FOR THE LONGER RANGE AS AN UPPER TROUGH WORKS INTO THE REGION
FROM THE EAST BY SATURDAY. THE GFS PAINTS BETTER RAIN CHANCES OVER
WRN ZONES...WHICH SIT IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE MORE DEFINED LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONES...THE EURO MOVING THE TROUGH A LITTLE SLOWER
AND MAINTAINING BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OVER THE REGION DURING
THE DAY SATURDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY FOR
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY FOR SERN ZONES. ALTHOUGH THE BETTER LOW LEVEL
FORCING MAY SHIFT INTO WRN ZONES BY THE AFTERNOON...PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES WILL BE AROUND 2 INCHES AND THE EFFECTS OF AFTERNOON
HEATING AND SEA BREEZE EFFECTS SHOULD WARRANT MENTION OF AT LEAST
SCATTERED POPS FOR THE SE.

UPPER TROUGHING CONTINUES OVER THE REGION SUNDAY. THE GFS SHIFTS A
HEALTHY SURFACE TROUGH INTO NRN MS TO MAINTAIN RAIN CHANCES THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH....THE EURO SLIGHTLY SLOWER ON
THIS FEATURE.  GOOD RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK
WHEN THE SRN EDGES OF LONGER WAVE TROUGHING PUSH INTO THE REGION
FROM THE N/NE. THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN MOIST...THE GFS SWEEPING A
HUGE AREA OF 2+ INCHES PRECIPITABLE WATER INTO THE AREA.
DISCREPANCIES IN MODEL TIMING RESULT IN DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS IN THE
LATTER PART OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE EURO IS AGAIN MUCH SLOWER
AND MAINTAINS UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE ARKLAMISS TUESDAY WHILE THE
FASTER GFS SHIFTS THE UPPER TROUGH FARTHER EAST...LEAVING THE REGION
IN NWLY FLOW THAT BEGINS TO PUSH A DRIER AIR MASS INTO NRN ZONES BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED MEX MOS
FOR POPS THROUGH THE LATTER EXTENDED WITH THE BEST RAIN CHANCES IN
THE SOUTH.

DEVELOPING UPPER TROUGHING WILL MEAN COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THE
REGION...PARTICULARLY FROM MONDAY ON WHEN LONG WAVE TROUGHING PUSHES
INTO THE AREA. /03/

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WE WILL CONTINUE TO ISSUE A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT THIS AFTERNOON AS
MANY LOCATIONS AROUND THE ARKLAMISS REMAIN UNDER BURN BANS. MOST
LOCATIONS ARE WELL BELOW NORMAL IN RAINFALL FOR THE PAST MONTH.
FORTUNATELY...SPOTTY DECENT RAINFALL DID OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY IN MANY
AREAS (OUTSIDE OF THE ARKLAMISS DELTA)...AND THE NUMBER OF LOCATIONS
RECEIVING DECENT RAINFALL SHOULD INCREASE BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AFTERNOONS. THE LONGER RANGE FORECAST HOLDS GOOD POTENTIAL FOR A
PERIOD OF ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL AND COOLER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK. IF
WEATHER CONDITIONS UNFOLD AS EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEEK IT IS
POSSIBLE SOME LOCATIONS MAY CONSIDER LIFTING BURN BANS. /19/
