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 Nov 26, 5:48 PM CST, 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 26, 5:48 PM CST, 14 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
548 PM CST Tue Nov 26 2019

...SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
MVFR to IFR ceilings and vis can be expected this evening and
tonight. Rain and storms will continue to affect the region with
some severe storms possible. Winds will be out of the south around
20kts with gusts to 30kts. Following the frontal passage, winds
will be out of the north tomorrow around 10kts. VFR conditions
will return tomorrow. /28/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and Wednesday...A strong mid/upper level low pressure system
swinging east through the Central Plain this afternoon, will
abruptly eject northeast into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley
tonight, and into the Great Lake regions Wednesday morning. This
will result in increasing southwest flow aloft across the region, as
the trough associated with the low essentially follows suit,
pivoting out of the southern plains and northeast towards the Great
Lakes region.  At the surface, a deepening surface low will likewise
abruptly shift northeast through the southern plains into the Mid-
Mississippi River Valley this evening, and towards the Great Lakes
region through Wednesday morning.  This scenario will maintain a
tight pressure gradient over the CWA, while dragging a strong cold
front into and through the forecast area from late tonight through
early Wednesday morning.

As a result, warm breezy conditions will persist for the remainder
of this afternoon and into tonight.  Southerly winds ahead of the
front will generally be sustained around 20 mph, gusting to between
30-40 mph at times, especially across the Delta region. Immediately
behind the front's passage overnight into early Wednesday morning,
winds will become northwesterly sustained between 10-15 mph, gusting
to between 20-30 mph at times.  Northwest winds will subside to
around 10 mph as the morning progress on Wednesday, advecting in a
cooler drier airmass in the process.  Lows tonight will range from
the lower 50s to middle 60s.

Chances for showers and storms will continue increasing from west to
east across the forecast area late this afternoon into tonight, as
the front shifts closer to, and eventually into the area.  With
strong deep-layer wind shear and adequate instability in place ahead
of the front, there will remain a threat of severe storms across the
region, especially across the Delta where forcing will be best early
in the tonight period and thus an "enhanced" risk exists.

As the front shifts further east through the area late tonight and
through early Wednesday morning, forcing continues to quickly
pulling off to the north with instability waning in the process.
That said, wind shear will remain enough so that at least a risk for
severe storms will continue across much of the remainder of the CWA
through early Wednesday morning.  Damaging winds and tornadoes will
be possible with the most intense storms, again, especially across
the Delta.

Rain is currently expected to be at an end across the forecast area
by early afternoon Wednesday.  The northwest winds behind the front
will again result in slightly cooler drier conditions advecting into
the region through the day.  However aloft, flow will be more quasi-
zonal as near-flat ridging builds into the region from the west
southwest.  Skies will become mostly sunny across the area, with
highs Wednesday ranging from the upper 50s to around 70. /19/

Wednesday night through Monday night: Ridging will build in across
the region Wednesday night behind the cold front, with overnight
lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Expect dry weather Thursday as
ridging remains across the region. Highs Thursday will be in the mid
50s to mid 60s, with lows Thursday night in the low 40s to low 50s.
As ridging continues to shift to the east and flow becomes
southeasterly, highs on Friday will warm into the mid 60s to mid
70s. Some showers will be possible late Thursday night and Friday
across mainly northwest portions of the area.

A strong storm system will develop across the plains Friday into
Friday night, and this will drive a strong cold front into the area
on Saturday. With forcing, instability, and shear, severe storms
will be possible Saturday through Saturday evening as the frontal
system moves through the region. Please continue to stay tuned
regarding this potential severe weather event. In the wake of the
front, a strong surface gradient will create strong winds across the
area Saturday night and Sunday. Surface high pressure will build
into the area Sunday night into Monday, with temperatures falling
into the 30s Monday morning. High pressure will be centered over the
region Monday, with lows possibly falling into the upper 20s Monday
night. /27/15/
