$$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 Jun 24, 7:10 PM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 7:10 PM CDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 710 PM CDT Sat Jun 24 2017 .UPDATE... Updated for 00Z aviation discussion && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF discussion: VFR conditions are expected to prevail areawide through Sunday. /22/ && .DISCUSSION... tonight and Sunday: Convection is beginning to develop in south- central Louisiana and the local CAM guidance is indicating better potential some of this could advect to the north-northeast and make it into the Highway 84 corridor over the next few hours and a few showers & storms may develop closer to the I-20 corridor. For now going to maintain the flash flood watch in the southern tier of counties in the Pine Belt through 7PM. Maintaining this in the HWO/graphics as well. As the front slowly moves to the south, expect convection to wind down later tonight after 02-04Z, with only some lingering chances remaining in the Highway 84 and 98 corridors. Models are slower to amplify the trough to the north over the northern CONUS and bring the big anomalous drier air in tonight and keep the strong surface ridging/surface high off to the northwest over the central Plains to mid-Mississippi Valley. We will dry out some potentially in the Highway 82 corridor where PWs will fall near an inch and a half but the front will hang near the Gulf Coast and still will have decent moisture lingering into tonight and Sunday. Lows will be slightly below normal in the north in the mid-upper 60s. As a strong jet streak pivots through the upper trough through the Plains Sunday, this will help to amplify the longwave trough over most of the the CONUS east of the Rockies. Expect this to help drive the anomalous surface ridging/low PWs down into our area by Sunday afternoon with the center of the surface high over the central Plains into Missouri. Areas in the north PWs will fall less than an inch with near 1.75 to 2 inch PWs again south of I-20 and 850mb Theta E near 330-335K+. This and a weak shortwave moving over the ArkLaTex will help again spark some potential for some showers and thunderstorms mainly south of the I-20 corridor and more coverage in the Highway 84 corridor. Heavy downpours are again possible but not enough confidence in coverage to mention in the HWO/graphics. In addition, there will be limited lapse rates/instability so not expecting any stronger convection. Highs will warm to the mid 80s, a few degrees below normal. /DC/ Sunday night through Friday: Northwesterly mid level flow pattern will dominate the first half of the period as convergence over the northeast supports surface high pressure from the OH into the lower MS river valleys. Flow around the high pressure area will keep the Gulf of Mexico cut off with atypically dry air (dewpoints in the 50s and 60s) remaining over the region. This dryness will stretch the diurnal temperature range making the heat each afternoon more bearable, as well as, allow overnight lows to dip down into the 60s. A more zonal mid level flow pattern will replace the troughiness in the east by Thursday with surface high pressure moving to the southeast and winds becoming more southerly. With surface dewpoints rising back into the upper 60s and 70s, a return to diurnally driven convection will commence through the end of the period as the diurnal temperature range shrinks./26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
