What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Dec 16, 1:05 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 16, 1:05 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
105 PM CST Mon Dec 16 2019

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS LIKELY TODAY...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 18Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
Expect storm coverage to increase from west to east through the
afternoon. Widespread MVFR conditions will gradually transition to
near IFR around midday (i.e. now through ~22Z). Near or sub MVFR
ceilings & storms will progress east-southeast through the evening
& the overnight hours, especially after 00Z. These low flight
categories & ceilings will be slower to clear along & east of I-55
through the overnight hours. The low flight categories will linger
through around midday Tuesday. Winds have been gusty this
afternoon & some gusts near or above 25-30kts from the south-
southeast. Winds will turn more northwesterly in the wake of the
front, keeping gusty winds lingering into Tuesday. /DC/

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Significant severe storms are ongoing this morning. There remains
considerable juxtaposition of sufficient mid-deep layer shear/
clockwise curving hodographs (i.e. ~200-400 effective storm
relative helicity) with sufficient mid-level lapse rates &
anomalous destabilization. Majority of local hi-res guidance
consensus continue to indicating potential for tornadoes & some
possibly tornadoes, especially along areas in northeast Louisiana
& central to southwest Mississippi. In addition, this environment
is favorable for damaging winds up to 70mph & large hail up to
golf ball size. Due to that & in coordination with SPC, a
"Moderate" Risk was introduced. A tornado watch was also issued
through 6PM for areas mainly along and west of the Interstate 55
corridor. Expect these storms to progress east-northeast, with
more potential remaining through the afternoon. This potential
will remain through 3PM along & northwest of a line from Natchez
through Grenada, near or just after rush hour through early
evening along the Interstate 55 corridor & near Brookhaven to
Columbus & into the Pine Belt & Interstate 59 corridor into the
early evening. Have your severe weather plans in place today! /DC/

Prior discussion below:

Today and Tomorrow...
Model guidance continues to be persistent with how things will
unfold later this afternoon. Much of the ArkLaMiss is in the
Enhanced risk area and this event will last through the afternoon
and evening.

A frontal boundary is currently hung up just north of the CWA and
will soon push through the area as the day progresses. As this front
moves through the area, severe thunderstorms will be expected from
west to east for majority of the region. With good mid-level lapse
rates(7.0-7.7C/km), impressive DCAPE values, and mid to low-level
shear values, all of this supports an Enhanced risk for damaging
wind gusts, tornadoes, and large hail. As far as storm mode, CAM
guidance shows some discrete supercells forming ahead of the front.
If the next round of model guidance continues to show strong severe
parameters, then its possible there could be an upgrade in risk.
The best chances for rain showers to begin will be early this
morning and starting off with mostly light rain and then becoming
more convective as diurnal heating increases. The storms will
begin firing as early as 10am along an axis from Winnsboro to
Vicksburg to Grenada. The storms will track west to east through
the rest of the afternoon with the storms expected to wind down by
10pm. There may be some lingering showers which may hang around
through the overnight period.

After the front passes, winds will be gusty with mostly clouded
skies and cold air advection will build in allowing for temperatures
to drop some 20-30 degrees (cooler than previous nights-mid 60s)
causing minTs to range in the mid 30s out in the north and low 40s
in the south. By Tuesday morning, the severe threat will be gone
leaving lingering showers for areas in the east but that will soon
be completely gone by noon Tuesday.

Tuesday through Sunday...
Colder air moves into the region behind the storm system/front.
As a result, Tuesdays highs will be a sharp contrast to todays
weather. High temps through tomorrow will be mainly in the 40s,
with lower 50s in the southeast. Brisk northerly winds and gray
skies...at least until into the late afternoon hours as skies
begin to clear from the northwest. Overnight lows will then drop
to below the freezing mark with most locations into the upper
20s...a few around 30. CAA eases somewhat on Wednesday as
temperatures begin to slowly moderate. North/northwesterly winds
continue, but temps climb into the low 50s for the southern half
of the state...upper 40s in the northern tier. Wed night/Thursday
morning will be very cold as skies clear under a ridge axis and
winds drop out, setting up efficient radiational cooling.
Overnight lows drop into the 20s again. With guidance already
dropping the eastern half of the forecast area into the mid 20s at
Day 3, will be an area to watch...also need to keep an eye on the
lows as they are pretty close to the Td that morning, setting up
for some patchy fog potential. Beyond midweek, temperatures begin
to trend upwards as winds gain more of a southerly component on
Thursday night/Friday. Temps and moisture on the increase ahead of
the next shortwave kicking up precip in the models. The NBM a
little too diffuse with the various solutions stringing out the
mention, so have cleaned up the extended somewhat, focusing the
pops on Friday night/Sat morning. /HJS/
