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 Feb 15, 11:09 AM CST, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 15, 11:09 AM CST, 3 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1109 AM CST MON FEB 15 2016

.DISCUSSION...TORNADO WATCH 14 HAS BEEN POSTED FOR AREAS GENERALLY
ALONG AND SE OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE. CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY ONGOING
ALONG A CONVERGENCE AXIS FROM AROUND NATCHEZ NEWD BETWEEN VKS AND
JAN TO NEAR WINONA. MOST OF THIS IS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT SINKING
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE DELTA THIS MORNING. RIGHT NOW SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY RESIDES PRIMARILY SOUTH OF I-20, THOUGH FAIRLY STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES (ON THE ORDER OF UP TO 7 C/KM) EXIST OVER MUCH OF
THE AREA. THOUGH THE ENTIRE WATCH IN OUR AREA IS A TORNADO WATCH,
THE GREATER THREAT FOR ANY TORNADO WILL REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA, WHERE STORMS HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF BECOMING
SURFACE BASED. FARTHER NORTH, HAIL WILL BE A GREATER THREAT DUE TO
COOLING TEMPS ALOFT/STEEPER LAPSE RATES, THOUGH SOME STRONGER WIND
GUSTS COULD ALSO MIX TO THE SURFACE AND PRODUCE WIND DAMAGE. A
TORNADO CANNOT BE ENTIRELY RULED OUT IN THAT AREA EITHER, BUT RIGHT
NOW WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH IS PREVENTING
GREATER DESTABILIZATION NORTH OF I-20. DEWPOINTS AROUND COLUMBUS
REMAIN IN THE 40S AT THIS POINT.

AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO SHIFT SE ACROSS THE AREA, IT STILL APPEARS
ACTIVITY WILL COME TO AN END BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. WE WILL LIKELY
BE ABLE TO CLEAR MUCH IF NOT ALL OF THE TORNADO WATCH EARLY.
FORECAST UPDATES HAVE BEEN SENT, WITH ADDITIONAL INCREMENTAL UPDATES
TO COME THROUGH THE DAY. /DL/

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR/IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF
THE REGION AS A LARGE AREA OF SHRA/TSRA PUSHES THROUGH AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL,
WIND GUSTS OVER 50 KT, AND TORNADOES MAINLY OVER THE SE HALF OF THE
AREA. AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON, WINDS WILL
SHIFT FROM SOUTHERLY TO NW/NLY. PRECIP WILL MOSTLY END RIGHT BEHIND
THE FRONT, BUT MVFR/IFR STRATUS MAY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT. SOME FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT/EARLY TUES MORNING.
IMPROVING CIGS/VISBYS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAYTIME TUES. /DL/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 415 AM CST MON FEB 15 2016/
SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING OUT AHEAD OF A
STRONG SHORT WAVE AND A COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM TENNESSEE
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST TEXAS. A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW IS LOCATED
OVER NORTHEAST TEXAS AND THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND MOVE
INTO WEST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN ALABAMA AND THIS
WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. IT
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS OUT
AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. MODELS SUGGEST 1000-1500 MU CAPE MAINLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH 500-1000 POSSIBLE
FURTHER NORTH...EAST OF I-55. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO KEEP THE BEST
MOISTURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WITH 60 DEGREE
DEWPOINTS ONLY MAKING IT UP TO THE HWY 84 CORRIDOR. THE MAIN RISK
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH ANY BOWING
SEGMENTS...BUT WITH DECENT LAPSE RATES OF NEAR 6.5 C/KM...QUARTER TO
HALF DOLLAR SIZE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE
COULD BE A BRIEF WINDOW THIS AFTERNOON WHEN A TORNADO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR WHERE THE BEST
SHEAR/INSTABILITY COMBINES BEFORE THE BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE JUST EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY EVENING WITH
THE SHOWERS COMING TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD IN OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS FALLING INTO THE
UPP34 30S TO LOW 40S. TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE A NICE DAY WITH MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES AND HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 60S IN THE
NORTH TO AROUND 70S IN THE SOUTH. A DRY COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH
ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING WITH THE MODELS SUGGESTING THAT THE
AIRMASS WILL NOT BE OVERLY COLD...WITH LOWS ONCE AGAIN ONLY FALLING
BACK INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S ON WEDNESDAY MORNING./15/

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...THE MAIN STORY FOR THE
LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL BE WARM TEMPERATURES WITH
RAIN CHANCES NOT REALLY IN THE PICTURE UNTIL LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

THE LAST GASP OF COOL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FOR A WHILE WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES ONLY A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE ON WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. HOWEVER...BY THURSDAY...THIS HIGH WILL BE TRANSLATING OFF TO
THE EAST AND A QUICK WARMING TREND (THAT SHOULD CULMINATE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY) WILL HAVE BEGUN. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE BULK OF THE LONG
TERM PERIOD (ESPECIALLY AFTER WEDNESDAY) WILL BE ABOUT 10 TO 20
DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE UNTIL A STOUT COLD FRONT PROGRESSING THROUGH
THE REGION BETWEEN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY CHILLS CONDITIONS BACK
DOWN. OF COURSE RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE AROUND THIS FROPA...BUT
REALLY SHOULD REMAIN RATHER INSIGNIFICANT UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT AT
THE EARLIEST. OF COURSE IN THE WARM ANTICIPATED REGIME THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF SOUTHERLY FLOW AND ASSOCIATED LATE NIGHT AND MORNING LOW
CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
NOT CONFIDENT AT THIS POINT TO SAY WHETHER ANY RECORD HIGHS WILL BE
IN JEOPARDY OVER THIS STRETCH BECAUSE IT APPEARS MORE LIKELY MOST
MAXIMUM TEMPS WILL REMAIN SHY OF 80 DEGREES. /BB/
