$$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 Aug 7, 10:42 AM CDT, 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 10:42 AM CDT, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 1042 AM CDT Mon Aug 7 2017 .UPDATE... Updated for morning discussion. && .DISCUSSION... Latest observations trends indicate strong low level convergence focusing 2+ inch PW air along the Hwy 82 corridor preceding a mesoscale convective vortex approaching from the west. Upper 70 sfc dewpoints over much of the ArkLaMiss combined with insolation is yielding an unstable airmass to go along with the very moist air with mixed layer CAPE near 2000 j/kg. Will be considering a flash flood watch as we go into the afternoon given recent heavy rain and threat for additional heavy rain. Recent CAM guidance suggests convective precipitation will begin filling in south of the current activity with some multicell activity developing with the potential for strong wind gusts similar to what was experienced yesterday given favorable low level shear direction orthogonal to storm segments. Currently seeing such segments develop west of the area so will consider adding a mention marginal severe storm threat for this afternoon. /EC/ Prior discussion below: Today and tonight: Cooler than normal temperatures with above normal rain chances are anticipated today. Early morning surface analysis had a ridge nosing west along the Gulf coast states, a stalled front from western Tennessee then southwest across the Red River Valley and a weak stalled outflow boundary across southern Arkansas and north central Mississippi. There was already convection refiring along our Highway 82 corridor associated with the stalled outflow boundary. Additional convection was also noted over our southwest moving into central Mississippi. This convection was being supported by an anomalously moist airmass. The 00Z Mon JAN sounding had a PWAT of 2.08in which is the 90th percentile for this time of the year. Models show this PWAT will increase to near 2.25 inches through tonight and support a couple of rounds of widespread coverage of storms. Convection is expected to increase this morning across the stalled boundary in our north then spread south across the remainder of our CWA during the heat of the day. Hi-res models suggest a brief lull in convection this evening with an increase after midnight from the west as a shortwave over the southern plains shifts east into our area. There is a spread on where the axis of heaviest rain (1-2 inches) will fall through tonight but, models agree that our southeast zones will see the lowest amounts; generally less than an inch. The abundant cloud cover and rain will hold afternoon temperatures well below normal over most of the area. Conversely, temperatures will be held near normal again tonight. /22/ Through the remainder of the week and into this weekend: The week ahead offers one of the wettest forecasts one could expect to see this time of year without a nearby tropical system. This is the result of a persistent regime featuring an upper trough over the Midwest/Northeast channeling periodic mid level waves across our region along a quasi-stationary surface boundary near or just north of the region. GFS progged PW values will generally stay around or above 2 inches throughout the entire forecast period. While average rainfall totals of 2 to 5 inches over several days aren't much of a concern on their own, this tropically moist environment will create the potential for locally higher amounts over shorter time periods resulting in flash flooding. We will continue to advertise a limited flood threat in the HWO and graphics into this week, and we will expand this to include the entire forecast area, as I see no notable difference in the potential over the areas where we're not currently advertising a threat. Based on how things evolve over the next few days (where the most rain occurs, where heaviest rain is anticipated as we move into closer time frames), a flash flood watch may be needed for some portion of the area. With respect to specifics, Tuesday appears to be a day with somewhat greater rain potential as a more pronounced upper trough axis moves across the region, and a surface trough/convergence zone is stationary over the area. High res guidance suggests scattered rain and storms will either be ongoing already or develop during the morning, continuing into the day. This will likely help to hold daytime temps down, with some areas possibly struggling to get into the lower 80s. The surface boundary will waver northward through midweek but remain nearby, with continuing rain chances as weak disturbances traverse the region. Another slightly more pronounced upper trough might shove the weak front southward into the area again around Friday, but there are no signs of it pushing far enough south to result in an airmass change. In fact at this stage, there are no real signs of a pattern change through early next week. Keep that umbrella handy, my friends. /DL/ && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF discussion: A TSRA was observed at GTR at 1030Z. Sct to numerous SHRA/TSRA wl cont along HWY 82 this morning then spread south through the aftn. Additional TSRA development is expected from the west tonight. Otherwise, a mix of MVFR/IFR cigs were being observed at 1030Z and wl cont through 15Z before improving. VFR conds should prevail away from TSRA activity by 17Z before lower cigs redevelop this evening. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
