What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Mar 17, 4:07 AM CDT, 6 hours 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 17, 4:07 AM CDT, 6 hours 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
407 AM CDT THU MAR 17 2016

.DISCUSSION...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AFTER A DRY PERIOD OF
WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION THE PAST FEW DAYS...RAIN CHANCES CREEP
BACK INTO THE FORECAST TODAY...WITH DECENT CHANCES CONTINUING
THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.  AS EXPECTED...THE FRONT THAT
PUSHED THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA YESTERDAY...HAS BECOME QUASI-
STATIONARY ACROSS SOUTH MISSISSIPPI AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS...DESPITE WEAK AND VARYING NORTH TO EAST
SURFACE FLOW CONTINUING TO PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE PERIOD...INCREASING WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE LOW
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING MOISTURE ALOFT.
WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING...A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN
ZONAL MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL TREK EAST ACROSS THE REGION.  THIS
COMBINATION...IN ADDITION TO AN INCREASING SUBTROPICAL JET ALONG THE
NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST...WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS...ALONG
WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS...DEVELOPING IN WAVES AND MOVING OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

IN ADDITION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN'T BE RULED OUT BOTH
TODAY AND FRIDAY FROM MIDDAY THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THIS WILL
PARTICULARLY BE THE CASE ALONG AND SOUTH OF A WINNSBORO LOUISIANA TO
CRYSTAL SPRINGS MISSISSIPPI TO LAUREL MISSISSIPPI LINE.  DESPITE THE
OVERALL LACK OF FORCING...THE FRONT WILL MEANDER ABOUT ACROSS THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD.  ALTHOUGH OVERALL
FORCING WILL REMAIN WEAK...THIS...IN ADDITION TO ADEQUATE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND RATHER STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...COULD RESULT IN A FEW
STORMS REACHING SEVERE LIMITS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WHERE THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE MORE UNSTABLE. CURRENTLY...HAIL LOOKS TO BE THE
PRIMARY CONCERN WITH STORMS...BUT DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL CERTAINLY
BE A POSSIBILITY.  IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING...THAT DUE TO ALREADY WET
GROUND CONDITIONS ACROSS THIS AREA...TREES WILL BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO BEING UPROOTED BY LESSER WIND GUSTS...30-50 MPH...THAN THOSE
OBSERVED IN SEVERE STORMS.  A LIMITED THREAT FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS MORNING'S HWO FOR BOTH TODAY AND FRIDAY.
NORTH OF THE FRONT...ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE ELEVATED IN NATURE AND IN
A LESS UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. STILL...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CAN'T BE
RULED OUT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...LOOK FOR CONTINUED MILD
CONDITIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT AS CLOUDS INCREASE THROUGH THE COURSE
OF THE DAY.  HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON WILL TOP OUT IN THE MIDDLE
70S...WHILE LOWS TONIGHT RANGE FROM THE LOWER 50S TO AROUND 60.
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES LOOK ON TAP FOR FRIDAY.  HIGHS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON CURRENTLY LOOK TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.
LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO UPPER 50S. /19/

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SATURDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY OVER
THE CWA AS WE BEGIN FEELING THE AFFECTS OF THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM OVER
THE OH VALLEY. WHILE WE WILL START OFF THE DAY WITH SCATTERED
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY NEAR THE COAST...
VEERING FLOW PATTERN WILL FINALLY GIVE THE COASTAL BOUNDARY A NUDGE
OUT TO SEA TAKING THE CONVECTION WITH IT.

A REINFORCEMENT OF LOW LEVEL DRY/COOL AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE CWA
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY RESULTING IN MARKEDLY COOLER TEMPERATURES.
HIGHS IN THE 50S WILL BE COMMON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS MINS DROP INTO
THE 30S. WHILE CAA WILL PRECLUDE FROST DEVELOPMENT SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING...HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT WILL SETUP CALM WINDS AND EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS. FROST FORMATION WILL BE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY WHERE
TEMPS CAN FALL INTO THE MID 30S OR LOWER WHICH LOOKS TO OCCUR
PRIMARILY OVER THE EAST.

MID LEVEL RIDGING FROM THE WEST DURING THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK
WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES./26/

&&

.AVIATION...WITH HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS MAINLY
CENTRAL AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI...AND PATCHES OF STRATUS DOTTING SKIES
AREAWIDE...VFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES ARE CURRENTLY PREVAILING AT TAF
SITES THIS MORNING.  CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE
ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT...IN ADDITION TO SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. THIS
CONVECTION COULD BRIEFLY REDUCE FLIGHT CATEGORIES TO MVFR/IFR STATUS
IS OBSERVED ON STATION.  MVFR CEILINGS WILL THEN BE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO FRIDAY MORNING...IN ADDITION TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUING TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.  WINDS
TODAY WILL VARY FROM NORTHEAST TO EAST TODAY BETWEEN 4-9 KNOTS...
AND REMAIN SUCH TONIGHT. /19/
