GRGWhat 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, 8:55 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 8:55 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 855 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014 ...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT... .UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED FORECAST EARLIER THIS EVENING TO INCLUDE TORNADO WATCH FOR THE NORTHWEST TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A 1007MB LOW OVER WESTERN LOUISIANA BETWEEN SHREVEPORT AND LAKE CHARLES. A BAND OF STORMS WAS NOTED ON REGIONAL RADARS STRETCHING NORTHEAST FROM THE LOW ACROSS OUR DELTA REGION. A BOWING LINE OF STORMS WAS NOTED FROM THE LOW BACK INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS OUR CWA TONIGHT AS THE LOW PROGRESSES. THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS... QUARTER SIZE HAIL OR LARGER AND A TORNADO WITH THE STORMS TONIGHT. IF THE BOWING LINE OF STORMS HOLDS TOGETHER...THE AREA SOUTH OF INTERSTATE TWENTY MAY SEE MORE WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE THAN THE NORTHERN PORTIONS. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF RAIN THAT WAS RECENTLY RECORDED ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES...A FLASH FLOOD CONCERN REMAINS AS WELL WITH THE LINE OF STORMS. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 TONIGHT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT. OVERALL...THE TIMING OF STORMS IS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN EXPECTED BUT THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST OF OUR AREA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. /22/ && .AVIATION...AT 01Z SAT IFR CIGS WERE BEING REPORTED IN THE SE WITH MVFR CIGS CNTRL AND VFR CONDS GWO-GTR. GLH WAS OBSERVING TSTM ACTIVITY IN ADVANCE OF A LOW PRESSURE CENTER THAT WL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT AND DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH IN ITS WAKE. SEVERE TSTMS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60KTS AND HAIL QUARTER TO GOLFBALL SIZE WILL BE PSBL WITH THE STORMS. GWO-GTR WL SEE TSTMS 04-06Z WITH THE OTHER TAF SITES AFFECTED 06Z-11Z BEFORE THE ACTIVITY SHIFTS EAST. CIGS WL IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER 14Z SAT BUT GUSTY NORTH WINDS IN EXCESS OF 20KTS WL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE AFTN. VFR CONDS WL LAST THROUGH SAT NIGHT. /22/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 445 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/ ..SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION TONIGHT... DISCUSSION...SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND OTHER STORMS ARE ORGANIZING IN EASTERN TX. THIS IS ALL IN RESPONSE TO A POTENT INCOMING DISTURBANCE REACTING WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY... PLENTIFUL INSTABILITY AND ADEQUATE DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR. SOME OF THESE SUPERCELLS IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WILL LIKELY BUILD DOWN INTO PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS DELTA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND THIS EXPLAINS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THOSE LOCATIONS THROUGH 10 PM CDT. MUCH OF THE INITIAL CELLULAR ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY JUST CLIP NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON WITH THE MORE CONSOLIDATED INFLUX OF THUNDERSTORMS HOLDING OFF UNTIL THIS EVENING. BUT BY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS NOW DEVELOPING NEAR THE ARKLATEX SOUTH THROUGH EAST TEXAS SHOULD GROW UPSCALE INTO A CONVECTIVE LINE WHICH ADVANCES SOLIDLY INTO THE HEART OF THE REGION BY LATE EVENING. MEAN LAYER CAPE VALUES WITH ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON IN THE ARKLAMISS DELTA WILL PEAK BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 J/KG...BUT PEAK VALUES IN WESTERN ZONES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING LINEAR COMPLEX SHOULD BE MORE IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. POTENTIAL FOR FORWARD PROPAGATION OF SEGMENTS INTO THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL ENHANCE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS WHILE LARGE HAIL TO AT LEAST GOLF BALL SIZE IS A CONSIDERABLE RISK. LOW LEVEL SHEAR THROUGH THIS EVENING IS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW TORNADIC THRESHOLDS BUT I DO THINK ENHANCEMENT OF SHEAR IN THE VICINITY OF CONVECTIVELY-INDUCED MESOLOWS COULD BE ENOUGH TO HELP GENERATE A FEW EMBEDDED TORNADOES REGARDLESS. THIS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE CASE IN WESTERN ZONES WHERE CONVECTION WILL REMAIN INTENSE THIS EVENING. ACTIVITY SHOULD TEND TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT HEADS EAST INTO AN INCREASINGLY STABLE AIR MASS...WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING QUITE HIGH BY THE TIME CONVECTION REACHES THE ALABAMA BORDER AND THE COOLING EFFECTS OF LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION LINGER LONGEST. HOWEVER...THIS WEAKENING TREND WITH EASTWARD MOVEMENT MAY NOT HOLD UP IN MY FAR SOUTHERN ZONES DUE TO BAROCLINIC ENHANCEMENT OF LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE BOUNDARY PUT DOWN IN THE WAKE OF LAST NIGHTS STORMS. ADDITIONALLY...POTENTIAL FOR STRENGTHENING SOUTH FLOW IN SOUTHERN ZONES JUST AHEAD OF CONVECTION COULD PULL UP GULF MOISTURE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN STORM INTENSITIES WELL INTO THE NIGHT. THE BAROCLINIC ENHANCEMENT OF SHEAR IN SOUTHERN ZONES IS ALSO WHY WE ARE ADVERTISING THE POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED TORNADOES WITH ACTIVITY DOWN THERE WELL INTO THE NIGHT. FINALLY IN REGARDS TO ACTIVITY TONIGHT...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED THROUGH THE NIGHT IN ROUGHLY THE SAME LOCATIONS WHICH RECEIVED A BIG DUMPING OF RAINFALL LAST NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH WHERE FLOODING WOULD NOT BE A BIG WORRY BY ITSELF...BUT UPON SATURATED GROUND A QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES COULD CAUSE SOME HIGH WATER ISSUES. ALL THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE CLEARING TO THE EAST LATE TONIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT DRIVING SOUTH TO THE COAST DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY TOMORROW. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL BE FOUND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND CONDITIONS COULD BE A LITTLE CHILLY BEFORE MIDDAY AS CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO CLEAR AND SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE COULD LINGER IN SPOTS. BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD BE RELATIVELY MILD BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON WITH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND PLEASANT AND ONLY A LITTLE COOLER THAN AVERAGE. /BB/ PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 435 AM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/ 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/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
