TWWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at May 9, 1:21 AM CDT, 3 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 9, 1:21 AM CDT, 3 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 121 AM CDT Thu May 9 2019 .UPDATE... Updated for 06Z aviation discussion && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF discussion: Poor aviation weather is expected this forecast period due to occasional periods of SHRA/TSRA moving across the area and considerable amounts of MVFR/IFR category ceilings in the very humid airmass. Sfc wind could be gusty and somewhat variable and dependent on individual convective storms. /EC/ && .DISCUSSION... It has been a rather busy evening at the WFO. An overachieving MCS has thrown a bit of a wrench into the forecast, making further south and eastward progress than previously anticipated and bringing damaging wind gusts along with it. Over the past 2-3 hours, the line has begun to slow down and gradually weaken and this trend is expected to continue over the next few hours as the line continues eastward toward the AL line. SPC mesoanalysis shows effective SRH on a downward trend as the line continues eastward, so the tornado threat is dwindling considerably. We still can't rule out some stronger wind gusts before the line moves out of the area. We'll aggressively clear counties from the Tornado Watch behind the line. Pretty much our entire suite of model guidance has handled this situation poorly, which makes trying to figure out what will happen overnight more complicated. Typically in this situation, one might expect the MCS to stabilize the atmosphere for the remainder of the night. However, with a very strong low level jet developing overnight across AR/LA/west MS and SPC mesoanalysis already showing strong low level moisture transport northward across this region, redevelopment is very much possible. In fact, some redevelopment is already ongoing across western LA right now. Thus we will maintain higher POPs for the overnight hours across much of the Delta and areas west of the MS River. Given the lack of confidence in what specific area might receive the highest rainfall amounts overnight, we'll not change the configuration of the Flash Flood Watch at this stage. Flash flooding will be a hazard to monitor closely overnight, though, given the heavy rain that has already fallen in many areas in association with this evening's MCS. Forecast updates have already been sent. /DL/ Prior discussion below: Tonight through Friday Night: An element of the short-term forecast to watch for is the potential for flash flooding. The MCS moving into the area this evening will bring storms producing heavy rainfall, and we will continue the Flash Flood Watch for far northwestern portions of the area heading into tomorrow. As the MCS decays overnight, the outflow boundary may help to focus additional re-development of heavy showers and storms overnight into tomorrow morning. With an expected 40-50kt low level jet interacting with such an outflow boundary, this overnight convection could overachieve with rainfall production. Some of the hi-res guidance has backed off from earlier depictions of intense rainfall, but we will continue to monitor for signs of training storms setting up overnight. Apart from the Flash Flood Watch, we will continue to advertise an Elevated threat for flash flooding across areas which are already waterlogged after weeks of heavy rain events. During the day on Thursday, wherever the outflow boundary starts the day, expect this to be the focus for the new day's thunderstorm development. Storms should build south and east throughout the day as they propagate into the unstable airmass. Given some spatial uncertainties following tonight's round of convection, the Slight risk for severe weather has been expanded to cover the entire forecast area. Damaging wind gusts and possibly some hail will be the primary severe weather hazards, and the possibility of training, slow-moving thunderstorms will expand the threat for flash flooding across the area tomorrow. Again, the greatest risk for flash flooding will be where soils are already saturated, but high rain rates and the possibility for training storms will keep the threat for at least localized flooding a concern through the day. /NF/ Friday through Tuesday... A wet pattern will continue Friday through the weekend as the region remains under southwest flow aloft. A front will stall generally across the central part of the forecast area. Several disturbances will move across the front, which will result in a period of prolonged of heavy rain, and subsequently flash flooding. While severe weather cannot be completely ruled out during the latter portions of the week, this is something that will need to be assessed on a smaller scale from residual boundaries/heating/shear, etc. The bigger concern during this time period will be from the continued rainfall, leading to flooding issues. After the forecasted amounts of 3-4.5 inches in the Delta(1-2 inches elsewhere) in the short term, another 2-3.5 inches of rain will be possible in the west from Friday through Saturday night. 1-2 inches will be possible elsewhere. Will continue to message this in our HWO and graphics for an extended period and the Flash Flood Watch will likely need to be extended in area and time at some point. The rain will finally move out of the region later Sunday night as the upper trough pushes through the region. Upper ridging and surface high pressure will move into the region for the early portions of the week. Drier air will move in and conditions look rather pleasant across the area. /28/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
