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 May 25, 8:27 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 8:27 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
827 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015

...SEVERE WEATHER LOOKING MORE LIKELY FOR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
ARKLAMISS REGION TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...A POTENT LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH A HISTORY OF PRODUCING
SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN PUSHING EAST THROUGH THE ARKLATEX REGION
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED.
AS I WRITE THIS LINE IS ON THE VERGE OF KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE
ARKLAMISS DELTA AND I EXPECT IN ANOTHER HOUR VIGOROUS CONVECTION
WILL INDEED BE MOVING IN. THE SYNOPTIC AND THERMODYNAMIC SETUP VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER EARLIER IN THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND ARKLATEX SHOULD NOT BE QUITE AS SUPPORTIVE ACROSS THE
BULK OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY THIS EVENING. THAT SAID...THERE IS STILL
ENOUGH OF A LOW LEVEL JET TO FUEL STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS (AND MAYBE EVEN AN EMBEDDED TORNADO OR TWO) IN MY FAR
WESTERN ZONES AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES IN LATER THIS EVENING. WANING
INSTABILITY AND A CONTINUED DOWNGRADE OF PARAMETER SPACE INTO THE
HEART OF THE REGION SHOULD CAUSE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TO EBB
CONSIDERABLY WITH EASTWARD PROGRESSION THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS OF COURSE AN ISSUE WE ARE MONITORING...BUT
AS LONG AS THE INCOMING LINE OF STORMS REMAINS PROGRESSIVE THEN BIG
FLOODING ISSUES SHOULD BE AVOIDED. THERE IS NOT YET AN EXPECTATION
THAT THIS LINE WILL HANG UP AND LEAD TO PROBLEMATIC TRAINING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...BUT OF COURSE WE WILL BE MONITORING FOR THAT
CLOSELY. /BB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 444 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015/

DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION HAS SHIFTED SOUTH AND WEST THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE AIRMASS IN EAST MS WAS STABILIZED BY MORNING
ACTIVITY. THE NEWER DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED IN AN ENVIRONMENT
CHARACTERIZED BY 2000-3000 J/KG MLCAPE AND 30-40 KT EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR. UNLIKE YESTERDAY LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS NOT AS IMPRESSIVE...SO WE
ARE LESS LIKELY TO SEE MULTIPLE BOWING SEGMENTS PRODUCING WIND DAMAGE
OVER A LARGE AREA. HOWEVER UPDRAFTS WILL BE ROBUST ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE DOWNBURSTS RESULTING IN WIND DAMAGE OVER MORE LOCALIZED
AREAS...AND SOME HAIL.

HEADING INTO TONIGHT...DAYTIME CONVECTION SHOULD BE ON THE DECREASE
WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND FOCUS SHIFTS TO THE WEST AT THE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS TX/OK. CURRENT TIMING
EXPECTATIONS BRING A LINE OF STORMS INTO THE WESTERN PART OF THE CWA
BY MIDNIGHT. SPC SSEO SUGGESTS THESE STORMS WILL BEGIN TO LOSE STEAM
AS THEY APPROACH THE MS RIVER...HOWEVER THEY COULD STILL BE SEVERE
ESPECIALLY WEST OF I-55. DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL IS OUR PRIMARY
CONCERN WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS...BUT HAIL AND A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT
BE RULED OUT.

ON TUESDAY WHILE THERE IS SOME CERTAINTY IN THERE BEING SHOWERS AND
STORMS GIVEN THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN...THERE IS LESS CERTAINTY
IN EXACTLY HOW THINGS WILL EVOLVE. ONCE AGAIN THERE WILL BE
FAVORABLE UPPER DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE REGION UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF AN UPPER JET STREAK. AN UNSEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS IS
EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE WITH PWATS BETWEEN 1 3/4-2 INCHES. HOWEVER A
STRONG MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL BE PULLING AWAY FROM THE AREA DURING
THE DAY...AND THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT LINGERING CONVECTION FROM
TONIGHT COULD DISRUPT THE ENVIRONMENT EARLY IN THE DAY. BETWEEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR LINGERING STRONG STORMS IN THE MORNING AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH NEWER DEVELOPMENT DURING THE
DAY...WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT A LIMITED THREAT FOR SEVERE
ACROSS THE CWA. ALSO...GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL THAT HAS OCCURRED
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS (RADAR ESTIMATES OF 3-5 INCHES IN A SWATH FROM
NEAR JACKSON NNE TO PARTS OF THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR) IT WOULD NOT TAKE
MUCH ADDITIONAL RAIN TO CAUSE FLOODING IN THOSE AREAS.

THOUGH THE STRONGER UPPER JET SUPPORT WILL PULL AWAY FROM THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY AN UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL REMAIN NEARBY...WITH
ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL KEEP A
DECENT CHANCE FOR CONVECTION AROUND INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK...ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST YOU GO IN THE
CWA...WHICH IS WHERE BETTER DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL RESIDE. /DL/

LONG TERM...THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY BUT RIDGING ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE WESTERN GULF ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST STATES. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
DIURNAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TO END THE WORK WEEK. BY SATURDAY
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
THE GFS IS A LITTLE DEEPER WITH THE TROUGH AND STRONGER WITH THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW THAN THE ECMWF AND CMC...BUT CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS POPS WILL INCREASE GOING INTO SUNDAY AS THE SYSTEM DRAWS
CLOSER. THE TROUGH AXIS IS EXPECTED TO BE JUST WEST OF OUR CWA MONDAY
EVENING. NORMAL LOWS RUN IN THE MID 60S AND NORMAL HIGHS RUN 85 TO
87F. DUE TO MOISTURE LEVELS REMAINING HIGH THROUGH THE PERIOD
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL TOP OUT
CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. /22/

&&

.AVIATION...NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL AFFECT AT LEAST
GLH/TVR/GWO/HEZ/HKS/JAN THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH SOME STORMS POSSIBLE
LATER TONIGHT AT GTR/CBM/MEI/NMM/PIB/HBG AS WELL. IN THE VERY MOIST
AIRMASS...WIDESPREAD MVFR/OCNL IFR CIGS WILL BE PREVALENT LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. POTENTIALLY POTENT THUNDERSTORMS
WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW. /BB/EC/
