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 Mar 28, 11:00 AM CDT, 5 hours 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 11:00 AM CDT, 5 hours 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1100 AM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014

...ELEVATED TO HIGH RISK OF SEVERE STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...

.DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT PLAGUED CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LAST NIGHT HAS CONGEALED INTO
AN FULL-BLOWN CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WHICH IS CURRENTLY PROGRESSING ALONG
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST AND PARTIALLY INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF
MEXICO. A FEW TRAILING SHOWERS AND STORMS REMAIN IN SOUTHEASTERN MS
ALTHOUGH THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DEPART TO THE EAST SHORTLY.

IN THE WAKE OF THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ANTICIPATE AT LEAST 6 HOURS
THAT SHOULD BE LARGELY FREE OF SIGNIFICANT WEATHER...WITH THE
ATMOSPHERE TRYING TO RECOVER MOISTURE AND DEEP ATMOSPHERIC
INSTABILITY. BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THIS RECOVERY SHOULD OCCUR
DURING THE AFTERNOON IN AT LEAST WESTERN ZONES WITH POTENT
THUNDERSTORMS FIRING IN THE VICINITY OF THE ARKLATEX BY 2 TO 4 PM.
THE BAROCLINIC ZONE LEFT IN THE WAKE OF LAST NIGHTS STORM COMPLEX IS
NOW DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHERN MS AND TOWARD THE ARKLATEX AND THIS ZONE
SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING...BECOMING A EFFICIENT PATHWAY AND FOCUS FOR UPSTREAM STORMS
TO DEVELOP UPON AND FOLLOW DOWNSTREAM.

STEEP ATMOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES SPREADING OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY
WILL JUST REQUIRE RECOVERING MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS TO
GENERATE IMPRESSIVE LATE MARCH INSTABILITY (MLCAPE VALUES 1500-2000
J/KG) IN WESTERN ZONES BY THE AFTERNOON WITH DEEP SHEAR CONDUCIVE
FOR ORGANIZING SEVERE ACTIVITY GIVEN THE INSTABILITY. THE VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT SEEM PARTICULARLY CONDUCIVE FOR LARGE HAIL AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR FORWARD-PROPAGATING THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS
ORGANIZING IN THE ARKLATEX AND HEADING EAST INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING GIVES THE IMPRESSION
ISOLATED WIND GUSTS TO 75 MPH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. CONSIDERING
THE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE POTENTIAL IN WESTERN ZONES WE HAVE BUMPED UP
HWO WORDING IN THOSE AREAS...ALTHOUGH HAIL TO GOLF BALL SIZE AND
WIND GUSTS TO 60 OR 70 MPH STILL A POSSIBILITY IN EASTERN ZONES
TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...MODELS STARTING TO GIVE A BETTER PICTURE OF
THE POTENTIAL FOR POCKETS OF MODEST LOW LEVEL SHEAR TO DEVELOP IN
ADVANCE OF ANY CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES. THUS...IF AND WHEN THUNDERSTORM
CLUSTERS DEVELOP AND ADVANCE THROUGH PORTIONS OF OUR AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...A FEW EMBEDDED TORNADOES ARE CERTAINLY NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION ALTHOUGH THE MAIN RISK SHOULD MOST LIKELY REMAIN
THE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL. GRAPHICS AND HWO UPDATED
TO REFLECT THIS THINKING AS WELL.

FINALLY...GIVEN THE FACT THAT RAINFALL RANGED FROM 2 TO 5 INCHES
ACROSS MANY CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES WE CANNOT DISCOUNT AT LEAST
SOME FLOODING POTENTIAL ACROSS THESE SAME AREAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT WHEN MORE ACTIVITY COMES IN FROM THE WEST. THE
POTENTIAL FOR SIMILARLY HIGH RAINFALL WITH THIS NEXT BATCH OF
ACTIVITY IS LOW...BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE NEARLY AS MUCH RAIN TO CAUSE
ISSUES CONSIDERING THE SUDDENLY SATURATED GROUND STATE. GRAPHICS AND
HWO ALSO UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS THINKING. /BB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 435 AM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/

TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MAIN FOCUS WILL CENTER AROUND CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS AND THEN
SHIFT TO THE NEXT AND MORE POTENT ROUND OF STORMS EXPECTED LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY.

THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF PACIFIC SHORTWAVE IMPULSES IS NOW PIVOTING
NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES THAT ALLOWED FOR AMPLE ISENTROPIC
MOISTURE FLUX UPGLIDE AND TRANSPORT INTO AN ELEVATED AND TO A DEGREE
NEAR SURFACE BASED UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH 500-1000 J/KG MUCAPE.
NORTHWARD MOISTURE MAGNITUDE FLUX FROM 1.7" PWAT RICH AIRMASS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH NOW THROUGH 6AM FOR SOUTH CENTRAL MS AND 6-9AM FOR
FAR SE MS BEFORE FLUX DECREASES AND LIFT SOMEWHAT DECREASES OVER THE
REGION BY MID TO LATE MORNING. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ACROSS THESE AREAS FOR FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS THROUGH THAT
TIME FRAME.

THERE WILL BE A LULL IN STORM ACTIVITY LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH
EARLY PORTIONS OF THE AFTERNOON BEFORE CONDITIONS BECOME MORE
FAVORABLE FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT. TWO SEPARATE H5 S/WV IMPULSES WILL
PHASE TOGETHER ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND HELP
SPUR LOW LEVEL VORTICITY GENERATION ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY BY
NOON AND EJECT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OZARKS THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING. THE REGION WILL BE IN A LARGE WARM SECTOR WITH DEWPOINTS
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH SFC INSTABILITY
PROGGED TO BUILD INTO 1500-2000 J/KG RANGE UNDERNEATH LAPSE RATES
/7C/KM/ AND HEALTHY UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE DUE TO A FAVORABLE
COUPLED JET STRUCTURE BY LATE AFTERNOON. HI-RES ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
SUGGEST CONVECTIVE INITIATION IN EAST TEXAS EARLY AFTERNOON WITH
UPSCALE GROWTH IN CONJUNCTION WITH VORTICITY GENERATION AS STORMS
PROGRESS EAST. SEVERAL GLOBAL AND REGIONAL MODELS INDICATE A QLCS OR
MCS DEVELOPING NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR BY LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY
EVENING ALONG THE MS RIVER. A CONSENSUS OF OUTPUT AND SPC SSEO
SUGGESTS THE GREATEST RISK OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS COULD BE
LOCATED ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO DEVELOPING
SFC LOW AND LOW-LVL VORT MAXIMA TRACKING ALONG I-40. HOWEVER, WITH
STRONG FRONTAL FORCING EXTENDING FARTHER SOUTH ITS NOT INCONCEIVABLE
FOR THE ROBUST LINE TO EXTEND INTO SOUTH MS WHERE BETTER SFC
DEWPOINTS WILL EXIST OR POSSIBLY BE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES. FEEL IT
IS PRUDENT TO PLACE ALL OF ARKLAMISS IN ELEVATED RISK FOR SEVERE
STORMS LATE THIS AFTN INTO THE EVENING. THIS WILL BE REFLECTED IN
HWO/GRAPHICS. KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST AS FORECAST EVOLVES
THROUGH THE DAY.

SEVERE STORM RISK SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH THE LATE EVENING FROM WEST
TO EAST AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. CLEARING AND DRIER CONDITIONS
EXPECTED BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH A NICE WEEKEND AHEAD. /ALLEN/

SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SHORT LIVED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AS
PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL FLOW ALLOWS IT TO QUICKLY PUSH EAST AND
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS TO RETURN BY SUNDAY NIGHT. NEXT SHORTWAVE
PULLS OUT OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST INTO THE PLAINS ON MONDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL DRAG A WEAK FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST DOORSTEP OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY TUESDAY...BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE MUCH AFFECT ON
OUR FORECAST OTHER THAN TO INCREASE CLOUDINESS.

PATTERN LOOKS TO AMPLIFY MOVING INTO THE MID WEEK TIMEFRAME AS
DECENT COLD CORE MOVES FROM THE PAC NW INTO THE ROCKIES. BACKING
FLOW OVER THE AREA WILL SET UP WARM ADVECTION AND RE-ENERGIZE THE
OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CONVECTION LOOKS A GOOD BET BY WEDNESDAY AS
MID/UPPER 60 DEWPOINTS SURGE NORTH OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND MID
LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES OUT INTO THE PLAINS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE
EVOLUTION OF THIS EVENT AS THE COLD FRONT STARTS TO MOVE. GFS/EURO
ARE SHOWING 1500-2000 J/KG OF CAPE COINCIDENT WITH 350 M2/S2 0-3KM
HELICITY OVER THE NW HALF BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN
THURSDAY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AS THE FRONT NEARS. SINCE THIS
EVENT IS STILL QUITE A WAYS OUT...WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING ANY
SEVERE POTENTIAL IN THE HWO FOR NOW./26/

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF LATE THIS MORNING CEILINGS WERE FROM IFR TO VFR
ACROSS THE REGION. THE FIRST WAVE STORMS HAS PASSED EXPECT THE SECOND
WAVE OF STORMS TO AFFECT THE REGION FROM 3 PM IN THE WEST TO AROUND
6 PM IN THE EAST. THIS WILL BRING ADDITIONAL IFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES IN THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50
KNOTS AND SOME LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL. THE STORMS WILL EXIT THE REGION
BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING./17/
