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 22, 7:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 7:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
700 PM CDT Sun Apr 22 2018

.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
While deeper moisture and rain chances will be on the decrease
early this evening, expect weak lift and residual boundary layer
moisture to cause problems with lowering of ceilings (IFR/LIFR)
late tonight into morning, and perhaps reduced visibility due to
fog/drizzle during the early morning. Expect ceilings to lift to
MVFR category from late morning into Monday afternoon, with VFR
ceilings become possible, especially in the HBG/PIB area. /EC/

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Through Monday:

Even as more respectable instability develops over the
southeast/east portion of the forecast area thanks to breaks in
the clouds south of a northward advancing warm front, drier column
air (as noted in multichannel GOES-16 imagery and satellite
derived TPW) is quickly advancing into the area this afternoon.
This has been helping to prevent more vigorous convection over our
forecast area. Still, 200-400 m2/s2 effective SRH exists over
this area, and we will have to monitor closely for rotation even
in low-topped convection over the next few hours. The decreasing
potential for any localized flooding will be wrapping up by that
time as well, and we'll likely be able to pull these hazards from
the HWO early in the evening.

The cold front currently remains back near the Mississippi River,
with dewpoints in the 50s residing across AR and LA. It will push
eastward across the area this evening, but as the mid/upper low
slowly pivots across the Midsouth overnight and cyclonic low level
convergence persists, low clouds will increase and lower again
overnight and continue across much of the area well into the day
tomorrow. Wrap-around isolated to scattered light showers will also
accompany the occluding low during the daytime Monday. Though we
won't see a significant dip in temperatures behind the front, the
lingering clouds and showers will help hold daytime high temps down
Monday. /DL/

Monday night through next weekend:

Models are now thankfully coming into a little better agreement
in the long term period. It still is looking like this period will
be somewhat unsettled with a parade of disturbances, albeit
relatively weak ones, pushing across the Lower MS Valley.

Conditions for Monday night and Tuesday will be best along and
west of the MS River where skies should be partly cloudy at worst.
Elsewhere clouds will linger with maybe even some nuisance
sprinkles or showers in northeastern zones. Temperatures will
continue to trend a little cooler than average.

Conditions should clear out for Tuesday night through at least the
first half of Wednesday, before clouds begin encroaching from the
west yet again as another disturbance approaches from the
northwest. This system should be lacking of high moisture and much
instability, but does look like it will have enough lift and deep
saturation to produce a good chance of rain in most areas between
late Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.

Unfortunately, there still remains more-than-desired uncertainty
for the system coming on the heels of the one for mid week. Most
likely conditions will dry out for late Thursday, but then clouds
and some rain chances will enter back into the picture by Friday
and maybe even into Saturday. Some model solutions do suggest the
weather-maker for Friday/Saturday may not materialize so rain
chances kept low for now and fingers crossed perhaps next weekend
may turn out to be a rare rain-free one. /BB/
