What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at May 9, 8:58 PM CDT, 7 hours 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 9, 8:58 PM CDT, 7 hours 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
858 PM CDT THU MAY 9 2013

...RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL INCREASING FOR THE REGION LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW. RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES
FOR TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...

.UPDATE...ISSUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE REGION FOR
TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON TOMORROW DUE TO INCREASING RISK OF
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. ALSO GENERALLY INCREASED RAINFALL CHANCES
AND FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW. /BB/

&&

.DISCUSSION...LARGE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
CONTINUING TO ORGANIZE BACK TO OUR WEST OVER FAR EASTERN TX. THE
SHORTWAVE THAT IS HELPING DRIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS ACTIVITY IS
ALSO PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS LA/AR WITH DEVELOPMENT JUST ON
OUR DOORSTEP THIS EVENING. THE POOL OF QUALITY MOISTURE JUST TO OUR
W AND S ALONG WITH AN OBSERVED TREND FOR TRAINING STORMS IN THE
APPROACHING COMPLEX IS INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN THE POTENTIAL FOR
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING ISSUES TONIGHT AND
EARLY FRIDAY. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR WRN
AND SRN ZONES WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAT MOISTURE AND FORCING
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAINFALL BUT MAY BE
EXTENDED FARTHER TO THE E AND NE DURING THE NEXT SHIFT.

ANTICIPATING THIS CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO TRANSITION
EASTWARD THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE STRONGEST...POSSIBLY
SEVERE...CONVECTION WILL TRANSLATE INTO SE AR...NE LA AND WRN MS
THIS EVENING...PUSHING EWD ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA
AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH THE BEST MOISTURE POOLING NWD ACROSS LA THIS
EVENING IT WOULD BE LITTLE SURPRISE IF THE SVR WATCH CURRENTLY IN
PLACE OVER WRN LA WERE TO BE EXTENDED FARTHER EWD INTO OUR FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT. STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION AND POTENTIALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE SUPPORTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO EARLY
FRIDAY AS MOISTURE INCREASES AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND STRONG JET FORCING DEVELOPS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CDT THU MAY 9 2013/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

THE LATEST MODELS SHOW STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE CONVECTION COMING
ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE WEST IN THE FORM OF A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A
COLD FRONT AND UPPER SOUTHERN PLAINS TROUGH APPROACHING THE REGION.
THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME OF THE STORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO
SEVERE. THE PRIMARY RISK WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND
QUARTER SIZED HAIL. A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. LOW TO MID
LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME PARALLEL ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND THIS COMBINED
WITH PACIFIC MOISTURE COMING ACROSS THE REGION WILL ALSO BRING THE
RISK OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. AROUND TWO TO THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL
WILL BE POSSIBLE...WHICH WILL AFFECT MOIST SOILS AND SOME HIGH RIVER
LEVEL CONDITIONS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING ON THE
SPEED AND TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM. AS FOR GUIDANCE...CUT TEMPS TONIGHT
FOR SOME LOCATIONS DUE TO THE COLD POOL MOVING IN BEHIND THE
COMPLEX.

MUCH ON SATURDAY WILL DEPEND ON MESOSCALE INFLUENCES AND CONVECTIVE
EVOLUTION FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. MOST GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT A SLOW
MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS
AND WILL SUPPORT ANOTHER CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...BUT MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES
MAY HAVE MORE TO SAY WHERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ULTIMATELY FOCUSES
ON SATURDAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER > 1.5 INCHES AND DEEP LAYER FLOW
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL. /27/EC/

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...

MODELS AGREE THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRIER AND COOLER AIR
BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOW TEMPERATURES
MONDAY MORNING WILL GET BACK DOWN INTO THE UPPER 40S AT MANY
LOCATIONS...AND THIS IS ABOUT 10 DEG F BELOW CLIMATE NORMAL. THERE
ARE SIGNALS IN THE LONGER RANGE GLOBAL MODELS FOR A WEAK MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO APPROACH THE ARKLAMISS BY NEXT THURSDAY...AND
SMALL RAIN CHANCES ARE INDICATED IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE THIS EVENING WILL GRADUALLY
DETERIORATE FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AS A COMPLEX OF RAIN AND TSTMS
MOVES INTO THE REGION. ISOLATED TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND
WEST OF THE MS RIVER AND N OF I-20 THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH STORMS AND
MVFR...LCL IFR...CONDITIONS SPREADING TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT.
WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH NOON FRIDAY WITH
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND TSTMS. CLOUD DECKS WILL BE BKN-OVC 2500-4000 FT
IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SCT SHWRS AND TSTMS POSSIBLE.
