The radar

The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 108 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 15:56 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 12:00Z, 3.9 hours before the alert went out and 99 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.

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 14, 10:23 AM CDT, 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 10:23 AM CDT, 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1023 AM CDT THU APR 14 2016

.UPDATE...
SEEN VIA WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...THE UPPER LOW IS CENTERED OVER LITTLE
ROCK AR CURRENTLY. SOME STORMS HAVE FORMED ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE LOW THIS MORNING IN NORTHEAST LA. THERE IS ENOUGH CAPE AND
LAPSE RATE TO GET SOME SMALL HAIL...UP TO QUARTER SIZE...OUT OF
THESE AND PERHAPS SOME GUSTY WINDS BUT DO NOT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN
THAT WITH THESE SCATTERED STORMS TODAY. IF THESE STORMS DO MANAGE TO
GET MORE ORGANIZED...COULD SOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

ADJUSTED THE MORNING POPS BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS AND HI-RES MODEL
OUTPUT. THE TEMP FORECAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD THOUGH. HIGHS IN THE LOW
70S SEEM ABOUT RIGHT WITH HEAVY CLOUD COVER AND SCATTERED RAIN
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. /10/

&&

.AVIATION...
VISIBILITIES ARE IMPROVING AS FOG CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE ACROSS THE
AREA THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...A CONGLOMERATION OF LOW CLOUDS AND
CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY MVFR
FLIGHT CATEGORIES AT MOST SITES. SOME BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IF HEAVIER CONVECTION IS OBSERVED ON-STATION.
A FEW SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND GUSTY
WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE SEVERE STORMS. PREVAILING WINDS
TODAY AND OVERNIGHT WILL BE FROM THE EAST BETWEEN 3- 8 KNOTS. /19/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 451 AM CDT THU APR 14 2016/

DISCUSSION...

TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...

VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS AND COOL NORTHEAST FLOW ARE
LEADING TO FOG IN THE PINE BELT REGION - CURRENTLY MONITORING FOR
PATCHY DENSE FOG POTENTIAL IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. FOR NOW THERE IS
JUST ENOUGH MIXING TO KEEP VISIBILITY ABOVE A QUARTER MILE.

LATER TODAY...MODEST LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LOW COMBINED WITH
AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND SUBSTANTIAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL RESULT IN A
LIMITED THREAT FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS IN THE ARKLAMISS. WHILE THE
FORECAST AREA IS CURRENTLY VOID OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION...MOST
GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT INCREASING CYCLONIC FLOW AND LOW LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW WILL PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT LIFT AND MOISTURE TO INITIATE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY BY THE AFTERNOON.

LOW LEVEL FLOW IS NOT STRONG...BUT EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER BULK SHEAR
OF ~35KTS SHOULD HELP TO ORGANIZE CLUSTERS OF STORMS AND PERHAPS
GENERATE A FEW DISCRETE CELLS. COLD AIR ALOFT WILL RESULT IN STEEP
LAPSE RATES IN THE HAIL PRODUCING LAYER. THE GFS INDICATES LOW...BUT
NOT INSIGNIFICANT...LARGE HAIL PARAMETER AND SHIP VALUES. WILL
INDICATE A LIMITED THREAT TODAY IN THE HWO/GRAPHICS FOR MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL AND SOME WIND GUST POTENTIAL GIVEN THE STRONG DEEP LAYER
FLOW AND POTENTIAL STORM ORGANIZATION. CONFIDENCE IN RAINFALL IS
RATHER LOW TODAY DUE TO UNCERTAIN MESOSCALE INFLUENCES AND POTENTIAL
SFC FOCI...BUT PERSISTENT AREAS OF LIFT COULD SUPPORT SOME LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN AREAS.

AS WE GO INTO TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
MEANDERING UPPER LOW WILL WEAKEN AS WILL INSTABILITY. SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT WITH A TREND TOWARD LOWER RAIN
CHANCES WITH TIME. BY THE TIME WE GET TO FRIDAY NIGHT...MOST RAIN
CHANCES WILL HAVE ENDED. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SEASONABLY
MILD THROUGH THE NEAR TERM...AND DIURNAL RANGES WILL BE A LITTLE LESS
THAN NORMAL DUE TO THE CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS/PRECIP. /EC/

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

WE WILL HAVE AN INTERESTING UPPER PATTERN AS WE START WITH A REX
BLOCK OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...WHICH WILL TRANSITION TO A HIGHER
LATITUDE OMEGA BLOCK EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP A SLOW MOVING
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS AT BAY. WITH THIS PATTERN STILL
LOOKING AT A MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE ARKLAMISS FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AS THE REX BLOCK PATTERN TRANSITIONS INTO AN OMEGA BLOCK THIS
WEEKEND...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL GENERALLY BECOME FIXED ALONG
THE MS RIVER VALLEY. HIGHER HEIGHTS AND SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS RIDGE POSITION SHOULD ENSURE MOSTLY DRY AND CONTINUED MILD DAYS
AND COOL NIGHTS FOR THE ARKLAMISS GOING FROM THE WEEKEND INTO
MONDAY. KEPT ANY LOW CHANCES OF RAIN MAINLY WEST OF THE MS RIVER FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. AS WE MOVE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE
WORK WEEK THE PATTERN WILL TRANSITION AS THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE
SQUEEZED OUT BY TWO BLOCKING RIDGES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FEATURE.
THIS WILL BECOME AN HIGH OVER LOW BLOCK OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
CONUS. THERE WILL BE AN ACTIVE SOUTHERN STREAM TO THE SOUTH WITH A
SERIES OF DISTURBANCES PUSHING THROUGH. THE ECMWF AND GFS BOTH BRING
A DISTURBANCE INTO THE REGION FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. OUR RAIN
CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES
CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN STREAM. /17/
