What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 10, 6:32 PM CST, 3 hours 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 10, 6:32 PM CST, 3 hours 52 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
632 PM CST Sat Mar 10 2018

.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
Isold TSRA wl cont to track east along and north of HWY 82 this
evng before more widespread TSRA activity spreads into the area
from the northwest. VFR conds wl prevail away from TSRA activity
but conditions are expected to lower from the nw after 05Z. IFR
conds are expected to prevail Sunday morning then gradually
improve to MVFR cigs during the aftn. /22/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Today and Tonight...Weak low level southerly flow has allowed
afternoon warming to mix away any appreciable moisture from
earlier. Thus, convection that has developed in the deeper
moisture west of the MS river has had trouble moving to the east.
Better low level moisture will begin spreading back into the area
tonight as flow increases in advance of a storm system rapidly
dropping southeast from the Plains. Sharpening warm frontal
boundary over the northern portions looks to briefly push north
during the evening, then come back south as upper support moves
in. Deep shear already in place and increasing
moisture/instability will allow for supercell development along
the boundary later tonight with cells moving southeast along it.
Cells along the boundary look to eventually congeal into a QLCS
after midnight and begin pushing south. Though the CAM guidance
has been consistent with this scenario, differences do exist with
the timing which will affect just how far south the severe weather
threat exists later tonight. Although convection may begin to
impact far southern areas during the diurnal convective minimum
around mid morning, frontal boundary along with increasing heating
should be sufficient maintain a marginal severe weather threat
there./26/

.Sunday night through Friday night...Pretty quiet long term is in
store for the ArkLaMiss. A few lingering showers will be possible
in the east and southeast Sunday evening, but all of the activity
should move east by midnight. Cold high pressure ridging will
build in overnight, with lows falling into the upper 30s to low
40s. High pressure will continue to build in across the area on
Monday, with cool high temperatures in the 50s across most of the
area. Another cold front will move across the area Tuesday morning
and this will mainly be a reinforcing shot of cold air.

Little will change Tuesday into Wednesday, but overnight lows will
fall below freezing, mainly for areas along and east of I-55 and
north of I-20. An elevated frost/freeze area has been introduced
for in the HWO and Graphicasts. Another cold night is on tap
Wednesday night with lows falling into the low/mid 30s once again.
The surface high will shift to the east on Thursday, and this will
allow for warmer temperatures in the 60s on Thursday. Both the
GFS/ECMWF indicate that moisture will increase on Friday into the
weekend, with an increased chance for showers/thunderstorms./15/
