$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Dec 26, 5:09 AM CST, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 5:09 AM CST, 2 hours 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 509 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 ...ACTIVE AND WARM PATTERN PERSISTS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH HELPED PERSIST LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA INTO THE EVENING HOURS IS FINALLY LIFTING BACK TO OUR NORTH...RAPIDLY FOCUSING SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE NORTH AS WELL. THAT SAID...A SOUTHERLY TROPICAL MOISTURE FEED WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW WHICH COULD INTERMITTENTLY INSTIGATE ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE QUITE TRIVIAL...BUT IN SOUTHERN AND FAR EASTERN ZONES TODAY INTO THIS EVENING THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR A FEW VERY ISOLATED AND LOCALIZED POCKETS OF ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN. FOR NOW THE RISK FOR CREATING ISSUES IS CONSIDERING VERY MARGINAL AND THUS WILL BE LEFT OUT OF THE HWO. OTHERWISE FOR TODAY...EXPECT LOWS TO LOWER STRATUS CLOUDS AROUND AND ANY SUNNY BREAKS DURING THE MIDDAY TO AFTERNOON HOURS WILL HAVE A TENDENCY TO FILL IN WITH LOTS OF CU RELATIVELY QUICKLY. BUT DESPITE THE LIMITED INSOLATION TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO 80 DEGREES IN SOME AREAS (WHICH IS NOT A GREAT FEAT CONSIDERING MANY SPOTS WILL BE STARTING OFF THIS MORNING IN THE LOWER 70S). NEEDLESS TO SAY...A FEW RECORD HIGHS COULD BE TIED OR SET. TONIGHT WILL BE EXTREMELY WARM AND MUGGY AS WELL WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 DEGREES. AFTER THE BRIEF RESPITE...EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS TO RETURN LATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. MOST AREAS (AT LEAST EAST OF THE MS RIVER) WILL STILL MANAGE TO SNEAK OUT ANOTHER WARM AND BREEZY (YET RATHER UNEVENTFUL) LARGE PORTION OF THE DAY...BUT A SIGNIFICANT PROGRESSIVE UPPER LOW WILL BE HEADING OUR WAY FROM THE BIG BEND OF TX BY AFTERNOON. THERE STILL REMAINS SOME TIMING AND LOCATION DIFFERENCES WITH REGARD TO THE MOVEMENT OF THIS UPPER LOW...BUT THE BIG PICTURE CONSENSUS IS PRETTY HIGH. HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING UPPER LOW (AND LIFT ALSO TIED TO THE STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW NEAR THE ARKLATEX) SHOULD START TO INSTIGATE SHOWERS AND AT LEAST A FEW STORMS OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN ZONES IN THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THIS PRE- FRONTAL ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER...THAT CANNOT BE SAID FOR A SQUALL LINE EXPECTED TO BLAST INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST IN THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. PRECEDING THAT FEATURE SHOULD BE AN ENVIRONMENT CONTAINING 500-1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE AND PLENTY OF DEEP AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND EMBEDDED TORNADOES. CURRENTLY THIS SEVERE WEATHER RISK IS EXPECTED TO BE GREATEST IN WESTERN ZONES AND LINES UP WELL WITH THE PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED ELEVATED RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IN THOSE AREAS. FORTUNATELY...ALTHOUGH SOME HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY...THE RELATIVELY QUICK SYSTEM MOVEMENT SHOULD HELP LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL FLOODING PROBLEMS IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...DETAILS OF TIMING REMAIN A LITTLE UNCERTAIN REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL EVENT...AND IT IS POSSIBLE ACTIVE WEATHER MAY HOLD OFF AFFECTING PORTIONS OF EASTERN MS UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK MONDAY. ANOTHER UNCERTAINTY THAT REMAINS IS WHETHER SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER WILL MANIFEST IN AT LEAST WESTERN ZONES AS SOME INGREDIENTS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE A DAMAGING DERECHO WILL BE IN PLACE. OWING TO THIS UNCERTAINTY WE WILL REFRAIN FROM ADVERTISING SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME...BUT STILL MAY HAVE TO INCLUDE IT IN FUTURE UPDATES. /BB/ MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... AS DISCUSSED ABOVE...GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT THE SQUALL LINE MAY BE ON-GOING OVER PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS MONDAY MORNING...AND WE HAVE THUS FOLLOWED HIGHER GUIDANCE POPS. EXPECT THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SQUALL LINE TO PUSH EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON... AND THIS "SHOULD" BE FOLLOWED BY DRIER WEATHER AND MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AS WE GO THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER...WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE HANGING UP JUST TO OUR SOUTHEAST... IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE NEXT WAVE PASSING ALONG THE FRONT IN THE DISTURBED SOUTHWEST FLOW MAY YIELD SUFFICIENT WARM ADVECTION TO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL PER LATEST GEFS/ECENS...AND THE INTRUDING WARM SECTOR COULD POTENTIALLY RAISE TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE NORMAL ONE MORE TIME BEFORE A SHARPER PATTERN CHANGE DEVELOPS LATE IN THE WEEK. EXPECT MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES LATE WEEK AS A STEADY INFLUX OF POLAR AIR DEVELOPS. THERE MAY ALSO BE A ROUND OF WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION AS WE APPROACH NEW YEARS DAY. /EC/ && .AVIATION...WIDESPREAD IFR TO MVFR FLIGHT CATS DUE MAINLY TO LOW CEILINGS WILL PLAGUE THE REGION THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND INTO MIDDAY. THEREAFTER...EXPECT MVFR FLIGHT CATS WITH TEMPORARY VFR BREAKS TO BE MORE OF THE RULE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS SHOULD BE ISOLATED WITH FEW (IF ANY) STORMS AROUND THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH AND OCCASIONALLY GUSTING OVER 20 MPH AT TIMES. ANTICIPATED CEILINGS DROPPING DOWN INTO THE MVFR TO IFR RANGE AGAIN ACROSS THE BULK OF THE REGION AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. /BB/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
