| Apr 19, 4:30 PM CDT | FLASH FLOOD | Louisville, MS | SEVERAL STREETS WERE UNDERWATER WITHIN LOUISVILLE CITY LIMITS AND 3 RESIDENCES WERE DISPLACED DUE TO FLOODING IN HOMES. |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 89 minutes after it went out.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 12:00Z, 8.0 hours before the alert went out and 157 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 12:16 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1216 PM CDT Sun Apr 19 2020 .UPDATE... Updated for 18Z aviation discussion && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: While IFR/MVFR conditions will improve to VFR at most locations this afternoon, areas between GLH, GWO and GTR will remain in those conditions through much of the period. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will eventually overspread the area from the west this afternoon with deteriorating conditions as they do so. IFR/LIFR conditions with gusty winds can be expected as storms impact each TAF site. The rain and thunderstorms will move east of the area after midnight as a cold front moves through, but ceilings will remain IFR through the remainder of the period./GG/ && .DISCUSSION... Quasi-stationary frontal boundary continues to oscillate along I20 from northeast LA eastward through central MS. To the north, elevated parcels with CAPEs around 2000 J/kg continue to be isentropically lifted resulting in scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Immediately along the front, light showers and fog persists. While to the south in the warm sector, widespread stratus was seen in the satellite imagery, although some breaks were beginning to occur. RAP data confirming the ascent/theta-e advection over northeast portions with ongoing convection and over east TX where new intense convection has developed. While the latest CAM guidance continues to vary in the scenario this afternoon, they all do agree that modes will be mixed through the afternoon and evening as the event plays out. Made some changes to weather and PoP based on latest trends and thinking. Expect intense storms in the warm sector this afternoon as the boundary layer warms with clusters of supercells producing very large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes, some strong. Also, adjusted temps a bit, mainly in the north where ongoing precipitation will keep temperatures cooler./GG/ Prior discussion below: Today and tonight... A warm front is slowly lifting through the Gulf States this morning, providing an increase in rich moisture and warmer temperatures in the boundary layer, setting up for the severe weather anticipated today. Overnight and this morning, general ascent across the region invof and isentropic upglide over the frontal boundary in concert with steep mid level lapse rates contributed to the development of some severe elevated convection as well as some more widespread showers and thunderstorms. Much of the convection has shifted north, and though some scattered activity will remain possible through the morning hours, models are rather consistent with a broader area of intense convection developing after 18z. Previous model runs have been a little inconsistent with the projection of timing, as well as modality for the storm development this afternoon. Expecting some version of a wind and hail threat with some linear segments...but has transitioned into a concern this afternoon for supercell development as well. An expanding warm sector will develop as the warm front lifts through the region. Interaction with the frontal boundary could increase tornadic potential with early storms, though the main concern initially will be damaging wind and hail. The situation changes with time however. Previous model runs have had some issue with whether or not the morning scattered convection precludes restratifying the column. But the more recent runs have developed convection just to the west ahead of a deepening upper trof, moving into far more unstable air over the region. SBCAPE values in excess of 3000J/kg in the afternoon ahead of the developing convection in the HRRR 07Z run. HREF mean sb CAPE is in the same range, more or less, as well as the RAP, etc. Deep shear of 50-60kts would signal the strong potential for convection this afternoon to be supercell oriented, and the scp as well as sig tor parameters all show the same trend. Main threat will be wind and hail with early scattered convection...but the afternoon potential for supercells will add in the concern for tornadoes, potentially strong and long tracked particularly to the southeast. Given the dynamic set up aloft in concert with 1.5-2" PWs across the area of most intense convective potential, a flash flooding concern is added to the mix. Expected rainfall totals range from 1-4 inches, with a 2.5-4" max axis along and near I-20 across Mississippi. /HJS/ Monday through Saturday night... Surface high pressure ridging will build across the area on Monday. A nice day is on tap with highs mostly in the 70s across the area. The nice weather will continue on Tuesday as high pressure ridging continues from a high centered over Missouri. The surface high will move eastward into the Ohio Valley Tuesday night into Wednesday, and the surface flow will swing around to the east then southeast by Wednesday afternoon. A deepening storms system will approach the region Wednesday, with increasing chances for storms in the west. Thunderstorms will spreads east across the area Wednesday evening through the overnight hours. There are some differences between the GFS/ECMWF, but they are in fairly good agreement of the timing of this system across the region. Both of them indicate good instability and strong shear during the overnight hours, so another round of severs storms look possible. SPC has not introduced a severe outlook for this period, but may in future outlooks. Showers and storms will continue through Thursday morning, but will end from west to east during the afternoon hours. High pressure will once again build across the region on Friday, but this crazy April pattern may rear its ugly head again on Saturday, as both the GFS/ECMWF move another strong storm system across the region./15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
