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 Nov 29, 11:30 AM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 29, 11:30 AM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1130 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2016

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AGAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 18Z aviation discussion.

&&

.AVIATION...
For the 18Z TAFs...Increasing moisture from the south will lead to a
potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms late this
afternoon. General timing and location of storms will require taf
amendments as convection develops. There is greater confidence in
severe storms after 00Z Wednesday, so have timing of greatest
confidence for impacts from these storms in TAFs. Expect gusty and
erratic winds, locally heavy rainfall, and MVFR or lower conditions
as showers and storms move through each site./17/NF/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
The current forecast appears to be on track for this morning. Latest
surface analysis shows the stationary front over our southern
counties late this morning. LIX sounding this morning showed cape of
around 1200 j/kg with some lower 70s dewpoints south of the
boundary. Latest 12z Nam shows effective storm relative helicity 300-
400.  With the locally heavy rain potential WPC has put out a
marginal risk for flooding for the cwa. Looking for this afternoon
the current expectations for severe weather modes has not changed as
the warm frontal boundary pushes northward...then as the cold front
pushes through overnight. Latest HRRR shows some isolated strong
storms pushing north across the region with warm front. Otherwise
made slight adjustment to hourly temps,and afternoon highs. Kept
current pops the same./17/

Prior discussion below:

Today and Tonight...

The main forecast concern across the ArkLaMiss region for today and
tonight is the threat for another two rounds of severe thunderstorms
- one this afternoon and another later this evening and tonight.
Synoptically, a deep low pressure system continues to spin over the
Upper Midwest this morning with the shortwave that brought
yesterday's round of storms lifting north and east of our area.
Another shortwave will round the base of the upper low today, while
forecast surface pressure falls suggest that a surface low will spin
up near the ArkLaMiss Delta.

This low will help to focus a lifting warm front across the central
portions of our forecast area this afternoon - the first potential
round of severe weather. Afternoon thunderstorms will have an
increasingly unstable airmass to tap into. MLCAPE values of 1500-
2000 J/kg are possible behind the warm front this afternoon. Any
thunderstorms that develop will also advance into increasing deep
layer shear (0-6 km shear of 50-70 kts), indicating a favorable
environment for supercells. Directional shear will not be as great
as yesterday, though still some veering from SSW to SW with height.
All modes of severe weather will be possible, as steep mid-level
lapse rates and the potential for longer lived supercells increase
the chances for hail and damaging winds. 2000 ft LCL heights and
adequate amounts of low-level shear and helicity will support the
possibility of tornadoes with supercells.

The second possible round of severe weather is not expected to
develop across our area until mainly after 6 PM tonight and should
last through the early morning hours of Wednesday. The surface low
will bring a cold front into the Delta region by around 6 PM, with
the possibility of a few thunderstorms ongoing along it by that
time. With deep layer shear being more parallel to this cold front
storm mode will likely be more linear, though again 60-70 kts of 0-6
km shear would suggest that embedded supercells are possible. Steep
mid-level lapse rates and the presence of dry air through the mid
levels will continue to support the possibility of a large hail and
damaging wind threat. Increasing low-level wind shear and helicity
with a strengthening low-level jet overnight will prompt a
significant threat for tornadoes in our graphical and text Hazardous
Weather Outlook products. With the possibility of nighttime
tornadoes, residents are urged to have an emergency plan in place
should Watches or Warnings be issued for their location. QPF totals
of 1 to 2 inches across eastern portions of the forecast area
indicate a marginal threat for flooding, but recent long-term dry
conditions in those areas should limit the overall threat for flash
flooding tonight. Heavy rainfall could still produce localized
flooding in low areas. /NF/

Wednesday through early next week....

Another round of wet weather looks to take shape at some point
between this weekend and middle of next week. There are timing
issues with this next system, but models depict that another low
will develop in the Gulf/Texas coast and track northeast into our
CWA ahead of a trough developing across the Intermountain West. This
low will allow moisture to increase into our region as well as some
precip. The ECMWF is the fastest with bringing this through over the
weekend, while the GFS and Canadian are much slower and wait until
early next week. /28/
