$$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, 9:59 AM CDT, 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 9:59 AM CDT, 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 959 AM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017 .UPDATE... Updated for morning discussion. && .DISCUSSION... Latest satellite imagery showed a midlevel shortwave moving over New Mexico late this morning. An associated surface low was noted over Northwest Texas with a warm front. Surface high pressure was providing quiet conditions across the ArkLaMiss region with late morning readings in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Made slight adjustments to afternoon highs./17/ Prior discussion below: 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/ && .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.
