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 Jun 3, 4:30 PM CDT, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 4:30 PM CDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
430 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2020

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and tomorrow...

Unsettled weather will continue showers and thunderstorms through
the evening and again tomorrow as the weather pattern remains warm
and moisture laden over the region. Diurnally enhanced showers
and thunderstorms will slowly weaken and become less widespread later
on this evening, though continued shower development will be
possible sporadically through the evening. Precip chances return
again tomorrow...increasing in coverage through the afternoon
hours. A general risk of diurnal convection will get an assist
from the remnants of an MCS that moves into the mid Miss River
Valley tomorrow afternoon. A marginal risk for severe storms
exists mainly for northern MS and southeastern AR...with the main
threat being gusty winds and large hail. Overnight tonight, plenty
of cloud cover and muggy air will keep the early morning lows in
the upper 60s/lower 70s. Tomorrow, high temperatures will climb
into the upper 80s for much of MS...and lower 90s west of the Miss
River and in portions of the Delta north of I-20.

Tomorrow night through Wednesday...

The forecast starts off tomorrow night with a belt of northern
stream westerlies across the Northern Plains with a southern stream
closed low off the California coast and a mid-level ridge over far
northern Mexico. Weak troughing will be in place across the southern
states with Tropical Storm Cristobal meandering over the Yucatan
Peninsula well to our south. A few showers and storms may be ongoing
at the start of tomorrow night, but will quickly wane through the
evening hours with loss of daytime heating. Another round of
diurnally driven showers and storms is expected on Friday with warm
afternoon highs in the upper 80s and low 90s.

Attention quickly turns to Tropical Storm Cristobal as we head into
the weekend. Cristobal will finally start making northward progress
on Friday and will be nearing the northern Gulf coast on Sunday
morning. The aforementioned closed low off the California coast is
progged to evolve into an open wave as it moves onshore and phases
with a larger northern stream trough over the Pacific Northwest. At
the same time, the mid-level ridge will shift northeast and become
centered over the Middle Mississippi River Valley. Uncertainty still
exists with regards to eventual track and any impacts to the
ArkLaMiss region. Current global guidance indicates a brief slow
down in forward motion owing to the ridge before the tropical storm
slides northwest and into a weakness between the departing ridge and
shortwave trough ejecting out of the Rockies. Confidence is also low
with respect to intensity as the system will be fighting vertical
wind shear over the northern Gulf of Mexico. Regardless, tropical
moisture will begin to overspread southern portions of the area on
Saturday with the greatest rain chances and coverage Sunday through
Tuesday. It is still too early to try and iron out any impacts due
to the inherent uncertainty in both track and intensity, but at
least a localized flooding threat appears possible. /TW/

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
SCT-BKN cu field underneath cirrus this afternoon, scattered
convection breaking out after a short lull from this mornings
showers. Expect the tempo tsra through the afternoon and into the
evening, diurnally driven for the most part before most will
dissipate. Again, setting up for some llvl moisture issues but
going with more of a low stratus MVFR/IFR than a fog concern given
the continued chances for precip and persistent cloud cover.
Terminals to the SE where vis may end up dropping before dawn.
Winds will be mostly out of the south/southwest and generally
less than 10 kts...almost calm going into tomorrow.
