The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 9, 3:16 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 3:16 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 316 PM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016 .DISCUSSION...Outflow boundary from overnight MCS in AR/TN has slowed to a crawl across northeast LA/northcentral MS, but has served as a good focus for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. The GFS brings this boundary south early this evening before moving it back north overnight and continues to crank out QPF despite the loss of heating. Weak mid level shortwave/cyclonic shear axis looks to become a fixture over the forecast area through at least mid week. As a result, better mid level lapse rates will combine with PWs near 2 inches and daytime heating to produce a good scattering of showers and thunderstorms each day. As such, the increased cloud cover and rainfall will give the area some reprieve from the oppressive heat of late. As has been the case today, a limited risk of severe thunderstorms looks to exist again for Sunday with the better lapse rates and the 20-25 knots of deep layer shear remaining over the region. Damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning appear to be the primary hazards expected. Will include as such in the HWO. The heat looks to make a return by mid to late week as ridging from the northwest will give the shear axis a nudge to the east allowing drier/warmer air to increase in the column over the forecast area. The reduced convection and cloud cover should allow maximum temperatures to return to the mid 90s as heat indices push into the lower 100s. The models are hinting that the mid level ridge may begin to break down somewhat moving into the weekend which should yield better lapse rates and an increase in the diurnal convective activity./26/ && .AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail for the most part through much of the period. The Scattered thunderstorms will continue through the afternoon and early evening hours, and these may bring brief cig/visby reductions and strong wind gusts at times./15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
