What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 4, 6:38 AM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 6:38 AM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
638 AM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017

.UPDATE...
Updated for 12Z aviation discussion.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF discussion:
VFR conditions will prevail for the majority of the period.
MVFR/IFR ceilings will move into the area after 05/06Z and linger
through the end of the period. VCTS will begin impacting GTR, MEI
and HBG after 05/06Z as well./26/

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Today and Tonight: Mid level zonal flow beginning to be replaced by
southwesterly flow as next storm system pulls out of the Rockies
into the western High Plains. The system will move through the
Plains and into the mid MS valley by tonight when it will begin to
impact our area. Meanwhile at the surface, low level southerly flow
will remain weak today as dewpoints mix out into the 50s.

As the mid level system draws nearer tonight, the warm advection
response will begin pulling the coastal baroclinic zone back north.
Upper 60s dewpoints along with high theta-e air in the lower levels
will surge north behind the boundary over southwest sections after
midnight. MLCAPEs of 2000-3000 J/kg will surge northward over
eastern portions, but the majority of this will be slightly
elevated. However, some of this looks to become surface based after
05/09Z over the far southeast sections. Large hail looks to be the
primary severe weather threat given these CAPEs, vertical totals
around 30 and the 50+ knots of deep layer shear in place across the
region. However, over southeast sections late tonight where
developing convection will be rooted at the surface, damaging wind
gusts and a few tornadoes will be possible as LCLs will be low, 0-1
km shear values around 30 knots and 0-1 km SRH around 200 m2/s2.
/26/

Wednesday through Monday:

Some of the Tonight/Wednesday morning thunderstorm activity will
likely carry over into the first part of the day tomorrow. A
deepening low pressure system will be moving from the Plains to
the Midwest on Wednesday, keeping a very unstable warm sector over
portions of the ArkLaMiss before a cold front sweeps through.
MLCAPE values of 2000 to 2500 J/kg and approximately 50 kts of
deep layer shear across the Pine Belt region warrant an Enhanced
severe weather threat continuing into the day for the far eastern
portions of our forecast area. Damaging wind gusts and large hail
will be the primary hazards, but the onset of daytime heating and
increasing low level moisture will keep a chance for tornadoes
with the stronger storms. Currently the expectation is for the
morning activity to tap into the best moisture and instability,
but depending on the speed of the cold front, a few thunderstorms
cannot be ruled out developing farther north and west in our area
between mid morning and early afternoon. Enough low level
moisture and instability (a more modest 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE)
should exist ahead of the cold front for more isolated severe
thunderstorms to possibly develop through around noontime. This
activity would also be more highly sheared as the upper level
trough swings overhead.

All said, the severe weather threat should end across the area by
Wednesday afternoon. Cooler temperatures will be felt in the wake
of the cold front through into the weekend. Highs in the mid to
upper 60s/low 70s and lows generally in the 40s are expected
through Saturday. The coldest night is likely to be Friday
night/Saturday morning as a 1020 mb surface moves into the region,
bringing light winds and clear skies. Locations east of I-55 and
north of I-20 have the greatest chances to reach frost
temperatures early Saturday morning. Then a warming trend with
gradually increasing rain chances will round out the forecast
heading into early next week. Northeast Louisiana, southeast
Arkansas, and northwestern portions of Mississippi will have the
best chance to see rain Monday as subtropical moisture is drawn
northeastward from the Western Gulf of Mexico around an upper
ridge. /NF/
