TWWhat 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 Apr 13, 7:27 PM CDT, 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 7:27 PM CDT, 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
727 PM CDT Wed Apr 13 2022
.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion. Also, as a line of severe
storms continues to push east through the forecast area tonight,
we will continue to clear western portions of the ongoing Tornado
Watch as the severe threat ends from west to east. /NF/
&&
.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
A line of severe TSRA continues to move east across the forecast
area to begin the TAF period. The line will bring periods of +TSRA
with IFR visibility and variable ceilings as it moves to the east.
Gusty winds will be possible before, during, and after
thunderstorms move through each site. Winds will ultimately turn
out of the northwest or north after a cold front moves through in
the wake of storms. Eventually ceilings should lift to VFR range.
/NF/
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and Tomorrow...
An upper-level trough will eject east from the Texas panhandle and a
surface low will develop out of that pushing across the Great Lakes
region. This low will drag a cold front through the Lower
Mississippi Valley this evening. I like to call this a wet set up
because there will be tremendous amount of low-level moisture. Close
to if not right at record breaking PWs between 1.5-2.0 in. Good low-
level moisture combined with daytime heating will allow for some
good instability. Guidance has struggled over these last couple of
days with storm mode. Initially the environment was conducive for
strictly super cell activity but as of right now, we are still
capped and things will evolve more with the front when it pushes
through making storm mode more linear across the south. Further
north, where the better shear and airmass is, conditions are still
favorable for discrete organized super cells and this is where the
main concern lies for larger hail and strong tornadoes.
With high PWs, the threat for flash flooding will be possible
especially if cells begin to train over areas. Will continue with
current flash flooding graphic in the HWO. Wind has started to pick
up and some TAF site have already gusted to 35kts. Winds will
continue to be strong as we mix out this afternoon into early
evening. Winds will start to decrease the after we get into the
evening/night. Will continue the latest wind graphic that depicts
the 'Limited' and 'Elevated'. The strongest winds will be across the
northwest.
While we are advertising a 'Moderate' and 'Enhanced' risk, the
threats are the same for both categories. Tornadoes (a few may be
string), hail (some large up to golf ball), flooding, and damaging
winds will all be of concern across the region. In regards to
timing, now until about 9PM for the west, 4-5PM until about 11PM for
central areas, and 6PM-1AM for areas in the east. It is suggested
that you have multiple ways to receive warnings and always stay
weather aware!
As the front moves out so will the activity. By Thursday morning,
the activity should be east of the region and dry air will move in
keeping us dry for the remainder of Thursday. /JNE/
Friday through Wednesday...
In the back half of this week, the focus for periods of showers and
thunderstorms around our region will be quasi-stationary front
lingering around the Gulf Coast region. Flow aloft over the southern
CONUS will be mostly zonal, with moist and more unstable air south
of the frontal boundary. This setup is likely to see a few MCSs
develop along the boundary as subtle shortwaves ripple through the
flow aloft. Friday night into Saturday is likely to be the first of
these potential events. Widespread severe weather is not certain,
but a few stronger storms could develop during this time frame.
Beyond Friday, each day generally has a chance for showers and
storms across at least some portion of the forecast area. There is
decent model agreement that a more pronounced shortwave moving east
across the CONUS Monday may bring in some drier air and high
pressure for at least early next week. Temperatures will obviously
be warmer south of the front, but will generally be around typical
values for this time of the year. /NF/
