MRMWhat 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 Feb 20, 3:39 PM CST, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 3:39 PM CST, 2 hours 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
339 PM CST THU FEB 20 2014
.DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE EVENT BEGINNING TO UNFOLD AS SQUALL LINE HAS
DEVELOPED OVER AR/LA AND IS ENTERING NW PORTIONS OF CWA.
DEEP MIXING THIS AFTERNOON HAS ALLOWED GRADIENT WINDS TO BE QUITE
IMPRESSIVE AS GUSTS HAVE EXCEEDED 30 KNOTS IN THE DELTA. WHILE THE
MIXING HAS ALLOWED DEWPOINTS TO DROP INTO THE 50S...LOW LEVEL
INVERTED V FEATURE SHOWING UP WELL IN BUFR SOUNDINGS OVER THOSE
AREAS AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. THIS SHOULD FURTHER ENHANCE CONVECTIVE WIND THREAT. WITH
ALL INDICATORS POINTING TO A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND THREAT...HAVE
ADDED SUCH WORDING TO GRIDS TONIGHT.
DESPITE IMPRESSIVE SHEAR IN PLACE...INITIAL TORNADO THREAT LOOKS
LIMITED AS DEEP MIXING HAS ALLOWED LCL/S TO REACH AS HIGH AS AROUND
3KFT. LCL HEIGHTS WILL LOWER...HOWEVER...AS WE MOVE INTO THE EVENING
AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTENS. ALTHOUGH A TORNADO RISK DOES EXIST
WITH THE MAIN SQUALL LINE...AM MOST CONCERNED WITH THE TORNADO RISK
IN ANY DISCRETE CELLS THAT GET GOING AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. HRRR
AND LOCAL WRF ARE SHOWING THIS POSSIBILITY DURING THE EVENING OVER
CENTRAL AND SOUTH MS...EVENTUALLY MERGING INTO AND REINVIGORATING
THE LINE AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER SOUTH MISSISSIPPI.
ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY LOOKS TO SWEEP RAPIDLY THROUGH TONIGHT BEING
COMPLETELY EAST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO SUNRISE FRIDAY WITH CLOUDS
DECREASING BEHIND. COOLER WEATHER WILL AT LEAST TEMPORARILY PAY A
VISIT TO THE REGION FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH 30S AT NIGHT AND
60S DURING THE DAY. ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW WILL ALLOW SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE TO RAPIDLY SHIFT WEST AND MOIST SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW TO
SETUP BY SATURDAY NIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE EVEN SHOWING A
POSSIBILITY FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTH AFTER MIDNIGHT
SATURDAY NIGHT IN INCREASING ISENTROPIC LIFT./26/
MODELS ARE CONSISTENT SHOWING ANOTHER COLD FRONT CROSSING THE REGION
SUNDAY NIGHT ON THE LEADING EDGE OF AN ARCTIC AIRMASS BUILDING ACROSS
THE PLAINS. COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY AS THIS FRONT
PASSES/NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST DECREASES AS
WE HEAD INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT WHERE THE 00Z ECMWF TRIES TO PULL
MOISTURE BACK NORTHWARD AND BREAK OUT PRECIP IN ADVANCE OF YET
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WHILE THE GFS/CANADIAN FAIL TO SHOW THIS RETURNING
MOISTURE KEEPING THINGS FAIRLY DRY (LOW END POPS). INHERITED LOW POPS
CONTINUE TO LOOK GOOD HERE TO ACCOUNT FOR INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES. IF
THE 00Z ECMWF IS CORRECT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A CHANCE FOR SOME
SNOW FLURRIES LATE TUE AS THIS NEXT SURGE OF COLD AIR RUSHES SOUTH
ACROSS THE REGION. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION IN
OFFICIAL FORECAST JUST YET THOUGH. THE MODELS SHOW ANOTHER COLD FRONT
HEADED OUR WAY LATE IN THE WEEK WHICH SEEMS PROBABLE GIVEN THE
PATTERN. IT DEFINITELY APPEARS OUR STRETCH OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS
THESE PAST COUPLE DAYS WILL NOT BE RETURNING ANY TIME SOON. DID NOT
SWAY TOO FAR FROM MEX GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. IF THE SETUP
OFFERED BY THE ECMWF TAKES SHAPE FOR THE MON-TUE TIMEFRAME TEMPS
OFFERED BY THE MEX WILL BE TOO COOL GIVEN RETURNING MOISTURE/WARMTH./BK/
&&
.AVIATION...
LATE THIS MORNING WE HAD A MIXTURE OF MVFR/VFR CEILINGS.
MAIN ISSUES TODAY WILL BE WITH STRONG SUSTAINED WIND AND HIGH GUSTS.
THE NW AREAS WILL SEE THE STRONGEST SOUTHERLY WINDS WITH SUSTAINED
20-30 KTS AND GUSTS 35-43 KTS. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL RANGE FROM
18-25 KTS AND GUSTS 30-35KTS. MVFR CEILINGS THIS MORNING WILL GIVE
WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS. LOOK FOR GUSTY TSRA TO BRING INTERMITTENT IFR
CONDITIONS TO TAF SITES TO DEVELOP IN THE FAR NW BY 21-23Z AND PROGRESS
E/SE THROUGH THE EVENING...EXITING THE REGION AFTER 07Z. /17/
