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 31, 4:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 4:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
448 PM CDT TUE MAR 31 2015

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI...GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 82
CORRIDOR WITHIN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA. SOME OF THESE
STORMS HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL IN PORTIONS OF
ARKANSAS AND COULD PRODUCE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF BASEBALLS ALONG WITH
60-70MPH WINDS. THIS IS NOT TOO SURPRISING GIVEN 8C/KM LAPSE RATES
OVER THE AREA AND 300-500 J/KG OF CAPE IN THE HAIL GROWTH REGION.
THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING AS MOISTURE...HEATING...COMBINE WITH A
PASSING DISTURBANCE AND LINGERING BOUNDARY. MOST OF THE MORE ROBUST
SHOULD DIMINISH THIS EVENING BUT SOME COULD LINGER A LITTLE LONGER.

SOME RAIN AND STORM CHANCES CONTINUE TOMORROW AS A BOUNDARY LAYS
DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH. AHEAD OF THE
SHORTWAVE...RIDGING WILL BUILD EAST THROUGH THE REGION. THIS WILL
CAUSE THE BOUNDARY TO LIFT NORTH AND OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.
DESPITE THE TROUGH WEAKENING AS IT APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE
CWA...WITH A WARM MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION...IT
WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SPARK SOME CONVECTION OVER THE REGION
WEDNESDAY.

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON THURSDAY...MAINLY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN COUPLED WITH THE ASCENT FROM A PASSING WAVE. WHILE
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY...LAPSE RATES DONT LOOK AS GOOD
AND SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT AS FAVORED RIGHT NOW. HEIGHTS WILL
INCREASE OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING US TO BE CAPPED
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY. ANOTHER...MORE IMPRESSIVE...SYSTEM DEVELOPS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND TRACKS ACROSS ARKANSAS INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO OUR
REGION. THIS WILL ERODE THE CAP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND ALLOW FOR
ADDITIONAL STORMS TO DEVELOP. EXPECT A SQUALL LINE TO APPROACH OUR
REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. SUFFICIENT CAPE...LAPSE RATES AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR SHOULD PROMOTE SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WILL CONTINUE WITH CURRENT HAZARD GRAPHICS FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL
FRIDAY. SQUALL LINE AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
AND EXIT THE REGION BY LATER FRIDAY NIGHT. COOLER SFC HIGH WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION FOR SATURDAY AND EARLY SUNDAY. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
LOOK TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...ALL SITES ARE VFR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING
ACROSS THE DELTA AND THIS MAY BRING MVFR AND BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS TO
GLH/GWO/GTR INTO THE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
TO DISSIPATE BY 03Z...BUT MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY IN STRATUS
AND FOG AFTER 07-09Z. WINDS THIS AFTERNOON ARE OUT OF THE SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST AT 8-12KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS...BUT WILL SUBSIDE TONIGHT TO
BETWEEN 3-5KTS. /15/
