NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Dec 27, 9:18 PM CST, 6 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 9:18 PM CST, 6 hours 40 minutes before

UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT./26/

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CIGS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. A SQUALL LINE
WILL MOVES THROUGH THE AREA FROM 08 TO 15Z BRINGING WITH IT AND
INCREASE IN WINDS AND A LOWERING OF VSBYS TO IFR/MVFR. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE AFTER 18Z./26/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015/

..POTENT SYSTEM TO BRING SEVERE WEATHER RISK TONIGHT INTO EARLY
MONDAY...

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...LATEST SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWED A CLOSED LOW TO MIDLEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A POTENT STORM SYSTEM. THIS FEATURE WAS
BRINGING DEEP S-SW FLOW OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION. OUR MILD TROPICAL
AIRMASS CONTINUED OVER THE CWA WITH READINGS IN THE MIDDLE 70S TO
LOWER 80S WITH MIDDLE 60S TO LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS. THIS WAS ENOUGH TO
SURGE TOWARD ANOTHER ROUND OF WARM TEMPERATURE RECORDS. THE DEEP
SOUTHERLY FLOW WAS BRINGING IN SOME MOISTURE TRANSPORT WITH
ANOMALOUS PWATS IN THIS TROPICAL AIRMASS OF AROUND 1.5 INCHES.
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS NOTED NORTHWEST OF THE CWA WITH THE STORM
SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.  AREA RADARS AT MID
AFTERNOON HAD PICKED UP SOME WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS AND SOME
THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING FROM THE SOUTH.

FOR TONIGHT...A STORM SYSTEM WILL BE WINDING UP AS IT MAKES ITS WAY
TOWARD THE REGION. THERE WILL BE ANOMALOUS JET DYNAMICS WITH THIS
SYSTEM. THE EURO AND GFS SHOWS WINDS OFF THE DECK AT 925 MB OF 45 TO
50 KNOTS. MODELS PROG A 100 PLUS KNOT JET MAX AT 500 MB MAKING ITS
WAY INTO THE WESTERN FRINGE OF ARKLAMISS EARLY MONDAY MORNING. 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. MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG THAT
A SQUALL LINE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY MORNING...GENERALLY FROM 10 PM WEST TO 9 AM MONDAY
EAST. HOWEVER AS NOTED BY THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT DISCUSSION THERE IS
SOME LINE ORIENTATION AND TIMING ISSUES AMONG THE SHORT RANGE
CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS. MODELS ARE NOT IN FULL AGREEMENT IN THAT
DEPARTMENT. SO HAVE MADE LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ELEVATED AREA AND
TIMING FORECAST. IT WILL BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH THAT MAJOR FLASH
FLOOD ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN. HOWEVER COULD SEE A
QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES AS THE LINE PASSES THROUGH THE REGION.
THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND SOME TORNADOES.
ALSO WE COULD SEE SOME DISCRETE SUPERCELLS FORM JUST AHEAD OF THE
LINE AS WELL...WHICH COULD BRING SOME LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL AND
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ISSUES. THESE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS WILL BE A
GOOD SOURCE FOR TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS. AS THE SYSTEM DRAWS
CLOSER TO THE REGION EXPECT WINDS TO REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
IT WILL BE GENERALLY WEST OF THE MS RIVER BY 03Z...THEN EAST OF THE
RIVER TO AROUND I-55 BY 06Z. FOR NOW WILL EXTEND IT UNTIL 18Z
MONDAY...BUT WILL LEAVE OUR FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AND PARISHES OUT
OF IT. EXPECTING SUSTAIN WINDS OF 20 TO 25 WITH SUSTAIN GUSTS OF 35
TO 40 MPH...EXCEPT UP TO 45 MPH IN THE DELTA REGION WITH SOME
INTERMITENT GUST UP TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE. EXPECT THE LINE ALONG WITH
THE COLD FRONT TO EXIT THE REGION PRIOR TO NOON ON MONDAY AS THE
STORM SYSTEM OCCLUDES TO THE NORTH INTO MISSOURI. DRY SLOTTING
COMING IN FROM THE WEST WILL HELP TO END THE RAINS FROM THE WEST ON
MONDAY NIGHT. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ON TUESDAY...BUT
RAIN WILL COME BACK ON TUESDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER POTENT SYSTEM SWINGS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WILL BRING STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT
BACK TO THE REGION. FOR RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS TO BE MORE OF A GENERAL
RAIN EVENT. WPC HAS RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-1.5 INCHES IN THE SOUTHEAST
WITH THIS SYSTEM.

AS FAR AS TEMPS WERE CONCERN. IT WILL BE COOLER SOME FOR TONIGHT
WITH LOWS FROM THE MIDDLE 50S WEST TO THE MIDDLE 60S EAST. COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL KEEP TEMPS STEADY ON MONDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE
MIDDLE 50S WEST TO THE MIDDLE 60S EAST. LOWS FOR MONDAY NIGHT WILL
FINALLY BE SOMEWHAT SEASONABLE WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S WEST TO
THE MIDDLE 40S EAST. COOL TEMPS WILL CONTINUE ON TUESDAY WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOWER 50S NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST. LOWS
WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 40S NORTHWEST TO THE MIDDLE 50S SOUTHEAST.
/17/

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...RAIN CHANCES WITH THIS
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE ON WEDNESDAY. THE RAINS WILL END FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS LINGERING IN
THE SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY. DRY WEATHER WILL COME BACK TO THE REGION
FOR FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COOL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH A SEASONABLE AIRMASS LOOKING FOR HIGHS IN
THE 50S FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY THEN COOLING TO THE 40S AND 50S
FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE 50S ON SUNDAY. LOWS
WILL DIP ITS WAY DOWN TO THE 30S OVER THE WEEKEND./17/
