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 Apr 10, 5:09 AM CDT, 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 5:09 AM CDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
509 AM CDT FRI APR 10 2015

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...THE COLD FRONT IS NOW
PUSHING INTO THE ARKLAMISS DELTA THIS MORNING. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ALONG/IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF THE FRONT. A FEW
OF THESE STORMS SHOWED SIGNS OF STRONG WIND POTENTIAL EARLIER THIS
MORNING...BUT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THE STORMS HAVE REMAINED
MOSTLY ELEVATED WITH ONLY INCONSEQUENTIAL GUSTS REACHING THE
SURFACE. HEAVY RAINFALL HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN A FEW SPOTS...WITH FLASH
FLOODING REPORTED IN THE CITY OF DERMOTT OVERNIGHT.

THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL DECREASE IN THE ORGANIZATION OF CONVECTION
ALONG THE FRONT OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING AS BETTER FORCING CONTINUES TO PULL OUT
OF THE AREA. HOWEVER AT LEAST A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE... REACHING THE TRACE AROUND DAYBREAK. THOUGH WE
WILL LIKELY SEE A RELATIVE LULL IN ACTIVITY THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...STORMS MAY BECOME REINVIGORATED NEAR THE FRONT DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE HELP OF INCREASING INSTABILITY AND 30-40 KT DEEP
LAYER SHEAR. SPC SSEO GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS
WILL BE SOUTH OF A NATCHEZ TO MERIDIAN CORRIDOR. THIS IS WHERE WE
WILL MAINTAIN A LIMITED THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON.
CONTINUED WEAK FORCING AND WEAK HEIGHT FALLS SUGGEST ANY SEVERE
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE ISOLATED.

MOST AREAS WILL BE DRY TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE FRONT SHIFTS
SOUTH TO NEAR THE COAST AND A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE
MIDWEST. A FEW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ALONG THE HIGHWAY 84
CORRIDOR WITH THE FRONT AND 1 INCH PWATS STILL NEARBY. AS THE RIDGE
AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD AND A SHORTWAVE IN THE SUBTROPICAL JET DEVELOPS
OVER THE SOUTHWEST...THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO RETURN NORTHWARD AS A
WARM FRONT BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS WILL BRING A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES TOWARD THE I-20 CORRIDOR SAT NIGHT. /DL/

LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)...
GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO PORTRAY A LONGWAVE TROUGH TO RIDGE PATTERN
AND ENERGETIC SUBTROPICAL STREAM OVER THE SOUTHERN CONUS NEXT WEEK
THAT SHOULD RESULT IN A LENGTHY DURATION OF ACTIVE WEATHER FOR THE
ARKLAMISS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE ARKLAMISS SUNDAY AND THIS WILL
ALLOW WARM ADVECTION AND RAPID MOISTURE TRANSPORT TO ENSUE WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING BY OVER AN INCH IN < 18 HRS. RAPID
DESTABILIZATION AND UPPER LEVEL JET SUPPORT WILL COMBINE WITH THE
IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST TWO CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS...ONE
WITH THE WARM ADVECTION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AND THEN ANOTHER
FROM MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SOUTHERN
STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE MARGINAL FOR
ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS...BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FLOODING SHOULD BE ON THE INCREASE GIVEN ANOMALOUS MOISTURE AND WET
SOIL CONDITIONS. WILL CONSIDER MENTIONING THESE CONCERNS IN THE
HWO/GRAPHICS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS STILL A LITTLE LOW GIVEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO SLOW DOWN.

GOING BEYOND TUESDAY...THERE ARE MORE DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE
DETAILS THAN THERE WERE YESTERDAY AS MODELS STRUGGLE TO HANDLE NEW
SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY OVER THE SOUTHWEST CONUS...BUT THE LONGWAVE
PATTERN WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT/UPSTREAM TROUGHING AND ANOMALOUS
MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT ROUNDS OF CONVECTION
OVER THE ARKLAMISS. DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS TRANSPIRE EARLY IN THE
WEEK...THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING COULD BE A MORE
SERIOUS CONCERN. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER MAY PEAK WITH THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSAGE LATE IN THE WEEK...BUT IT
IS STILL UNCERTAIN ON WHETHER THIS WOULD SPELL AN END TO THE OVERALL
ACTIVE PATTERN OR IF DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WOULD CONTINUE. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...LOW STRATUS ARE BRINGING MVFR/IFR CATEGORY CIGS TO MANY
AREA TERMINALS THIS MORNING. A FRONT IS CURRENTLY MOVING SEWD ACROSS
THE DELTA...AND WILL BRING A WIND SHIFT TO NW/NNW AT JAN/HKS/GTR
AROUND DAYBREAK AND AT MEI/HBG BY AROUND NOON. SHRA/TSRA ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT...POTENTIALLY BRINGING BRIEF VISBY
REDUCTIONS. CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE BEHIND THE
FRONT...THIS MORNING ACROSS THE DELTA AND BY AFTERNOON FARTHER
SOUTH. /DL/
