ECWhat 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 18, 9:45 AM CDT, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 9:45 AM CDT, 4 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 945 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016 .UPDATE...SUBTROPICAL JET WAS PUSHING STRONG WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION AT LATE MORNING. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION AS THE STALLED BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHEAST MS MAKES ITS WAY TO THE NORTH. CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE REGION MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF A GWO-MEI LINE. ALREADY HAVE PUT OUT A FEW WARNINGS DUE TO HAIL SPLITTING CELLS IN THE DELTA REGION. THIS WAS PICKED UP WELL BY ONE SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE MODE MODELS. SO AT THIS TIME THE CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. HIGHS FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 60S NORTH TO THE MIDDLE 70S SOUTH./17/ ./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...427 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016 .SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...IMPRESSIVE LIGHT SHOW OUTSIDE DURING THE PAST HOUR AS PROLIFIC LIGHTNING FROM PASSING STORMS ILLUMINATED THE NIGHT SKY. THESE STORMS OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS ARE THE LATEST BATCH IN A SERIES THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THE AREA SINCE YESTERDAY. THE CULPRIT CONTINUES TO BE ISENTROPIC FORCING OVER THE TOP OF THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ON THE COAST. THAT COUPLED WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 30 HAS ALLOWED SOME RATHER ROBUST STORMS TO DEVELOP. WHILE THE ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL DECREASE A BIT THIS MORNING...THE BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN MOVING NORTHWARD BY NOON WITH NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS AND CAPES FROM 1500-2500 J/KG INVADING SOUTHERN AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. THESE VALUES WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR ABOVE 50 KNOTS MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS. WHILE THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD DURING THE EARLY EVENING...IT WILL QUICKLY BE OVERCOME BY SOUTHWARD MOVING COOL AIR PUSH ASSOCIATED WITH A DECENT MID LEVEL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY. THIS WILL SWEEP THE INCLEMENT WEATHER OUT OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT./26/ .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...THE PREVIOUSLY- MENTIONED COLD FRONT LOOKS TO ADVANCE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING. SOME SHOWERS (AND MAYBE A STRAY RUMBLE OF THUNDER) COULD LINGER IN MAINLY SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI DURING THE MID-MORNING...BUT THE CHANCES OF DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS WILL BE GOOD BY AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE DRYING CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE TERRIBLY PLEASANT AS SOMEWHAT LIMITED SUNSHINE...OCCASIONALLY GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS...AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION PRODUCE AFTERNOON WIND CHILLS MOSTLY IN THE 50S. CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR SATURDAY NIGHT BUT NORTH WINDS WILL BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE AS CHILLY LOW LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE TOWARD THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THE PERSISTENT WINDS WILL THWART GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING AND SHOULD PREVENT FROST...DESPITE LOWS DIPPING DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S IN MANY CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ZONES. A CLIPPER DISTURBANCE BRUSHING THE REGION ON SUNDAY WILL ONLY HELP REINFORCE THE CHILLY AIR MASS OVER THE FORECAST AREA ALTHOUGH SUNSHINE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE PLENTIFUL IN COMPARISON TO SATURDAY. HIGHS MAY ONCE AGAIN FAIL TO HIT 60 DEGREES IN SOME SPOTS...WHICH IS SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THE DATE. THE IMPACT OF THE COLD SPRING REGIME WILL REACH ITS CLIMAX ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN WINDS DIE DOWN UNDER CLEAR SKIES...ALLOWING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING TO BRING LOWS BY MONDAY MORNING TO A RANGE OF 30 TO 35 DEGREES. AT LEAST PATCHY FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ALL AREAS...BUT CONFIDENCE IN WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY THICK FROST IS BEST IN EASTERN MS WHERE CONFIDENCE OF MINIMUMS AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING IS ALSO BEST. DUE TO EARLY START TO THIS GROWING SEASON...THIS FROST/FREEZE COULD BE POTENTIALLY IMPACTFUL AND THUS WARRANTS MENTION IN THE HWO/GRAPHICS. GRADUAL AIR MASS MODERATION WILL START DURING THE DAY MONDAY UNDER CLEAR SKIES...BUT LOWS MONDAY NIGHT COULD STILL DIP DOWN INTO THE UPPER 30S IN AT LEAST EASTERN MS ZONES. BUT LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BUILD LATER ON TUESDAY AND WILL WORK ITS MAGIC AND HASTEN THE WARMING TREND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. MODELS STILL DEPICT POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE NEXT WEEK AS A POTENT DISTURBANCE SWINGS OUT OF THE PLAINS...BUT IT DOES APPEAR MODEL CONSENSUS IS A BIT LATER WITH THE TIMING. SINCE THE MAIN IMPACT IS BEYOND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST PERIOD WE WILL CERTAINLY REFRAIN FROM MENTIONING IT IN THE HWO...BUT THIS SYSTEM/S EVOLUTION IN THE MODEL WORLD WILL OF COURSE BE MONITORED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. /BB/ && .AVIATION...MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. VCTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WELL AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. TAF SITES THAT EXPERIENCE TS WILL BRIEFLY FALL TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS AS WINDS BECOME GUSTY./26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
