The radar

The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 121 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:02 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 00:00Z, 3.0 hours before the alert went out and 114 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 3:48 PM CST, 5 hours 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
348 PM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)... LATEST SATELLITE
IMAGERY WAS PICKING UP A LARGE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
CONUS...WHICH WAS RESULTING IN DEEP SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER
THE REGION. THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WAS BEING ENHANCED BY A LOW
AMPLITUDE IMPULSE ABOUT TO EXIT THE MIDSOUTH REGION. THE DEEP
SOUTHERLY FLOW WAS BRINGING IN STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT IN STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH ANOMALOUS PWATS IN THIS TROPICAL AIRMASS OF
AROUND 1.8 INCHES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST FOR THIS AFTERNOON. A STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WAS NOTED ACROSS THE DELTA REGION WITH TEMPS RANGING FROM
THE 60S NORTHWEST OF THE BOUNDARY TO THE 70S ON THE SOUTH SIDE. AREA
RADARS AT MID AFTERNOON HAD PICKED UP SOME STRONG STORMS WITH SOME
HEAVY RAINFALL. STILL HAD DEEP LAYER SHEAR, HELICITY AND SOME
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT THE LIMITED SEVERE RISK TO
DECREASE AS WE PUSH INTO TONIGHT.

FOR TONIGHT MODELS SHOWS THE ACTIVITY TAPERING OFF AS WE MOVE INTO
AFTER MIDNIGHT. SO HAVE REDUCED POPS SOME AT THAT TIME. THERE MAY BE
SOME AREAS OF FOG THAT DEVELOP IN THE FAR SOUTH AFTER
MIDNIGHT...WHICH IS SHOWN BY SOME OF THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE. WILL
KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE NORTH UNTIL 12Z SATURDAY FOR
NOW. EXPECT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO GET PUSHED BACK TO THE NORTH AS
A WARM FRONT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM BY EARLY SATURDAY.
THE FOG IN THE SOUTH SHOULD LIFT BY MIDMORNING. THE STORM SYSTEM
WILL BE NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION ON SATURDAY. WARM MILD TEMPS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE SHORT TERM UNTIL WE GET TO SUNDAY
NIGHT WHEN LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE 50S WEST TO THE 60S EAST. AS WE
GET INTO SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT THE STORM SYSTEM TO THE WEST WILL
BE WINDING UP AS IT APPROACHES FROM THE ARKLATEX REGION. WE WILL GET
SOME GOOD HEIGHT FALLS AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE
ARKLAMISS FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. ONCE AGAIN DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND DEEP SHEAR WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION.
MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG A CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS BY SUNDAY ALONG WITH A STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE TO OUR WEST
WITH HIGH PWATS AROUND 1.9 INCHES. ONCE AGAIN WE COULD BE SOME
EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES WITH THIS SYSTEM ESP WITH TRAINING OF CELLS
ONCE AGAIN FOR SOME FLASH FLOODING ISSUES...HOWEVER SEVERE WEATHER
WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT A SQUALL LINE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY. THE PRIMARY RISK WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS AND SOME POSSIBLE TORNADOES. MODELS PROG A DEEPENING SURFACE
LOW PUSHING ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...DRY SLOTTING SHOULD END MOST OF
THE SIGNIFICANT RAIN BY NOON MONDAY BUT PCPN WL REMAIN POSSIBLE
UNTIL THE CLOSED LOW MOVES A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH MONDAY EVENING.
COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO BE BACK OVER OUR CWA
TUESDAY. TUESDAY MORNING LOWS WILL BE BACK MAINLY IN THE 40S WITH
HIGHS TUESDAY MOSTLY IN THE 50S. TUESDAY WILL BE DRY AS THE CLOSED
LOW SYSTEM TRACKS FARTHER NORTHEAST OF OUR CWA BUT OUR WINDS ALOFT
WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A SECOND CLOSED LOW SWINGING
OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN A LITTLE BETTER
AGREEMENT AND OPEN THE LOW AND SWINGS A TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL
CONUS WEDNESDAY. THE EURO WAS A LITTLE HEAVIER WITH THE PRECIP
AMOUNTS AT MIDWEEK. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE COOL AND DRY ACROSS
OUR REGION./17/22/

&&

.AVIATION...DISMAL FLYING CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON
THANKS TO LOW STRATUS AND WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA. THROUGH TONIGHT, THE
MAIN FOCUS OF PRECIP WILL SHIFT NORTHWARD, MOVING NORTH OF THE AREA
BY THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER, CIGS WILL LIKELY FALL AT MOST
SITES...WITH WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATE OVERNIGHT
THROUGH SAT MORNING. THERE MAY ALSO BE REDUCED VISBY DURING THIS
TIME FRAME. /DL/
