DLWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Mar 26, 2:09 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 2:09 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 209 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2023 ...New DISCUSSION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 200 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2023 This Evening and Tonight... A convectively reinforced warm front is lifting northward today, though how far north and how quickly it advances remains unclear with showers and storms occasionally impeding its progress. Flow aloft is mostly zonal, but strong. This is helping to generate deep layer shear that will be supportive of supercell structures and mesocyclone maintenance (e.g. 0-6 KM bulk shear >60 kt, 0-3 KM SRH >200 m^2/s^2). Hazards today will include large to very large hail, tornadoes with the potential for some to be strong, damaging wind gusts as high as 70 mph, and flooding rainfall. HAIL: Increasing instability (2000-3000 SBCAPE) amid strong low level warm air advection underneath steep lapse rates aloft (~7.5 C/KM 700-500 mb) is joined by seasonably drier air aloft (PWAT < 1.5") and maximized CAPE within the -5 C to -15 C primary hail growth region. With subtle forcing arriving in the form of a weak shortwave/speed max aloft by afternoon, a discrete to semidiscrete storm mode with these parameters suggests that large hail, perhaps very large, may reach 2 inch or greater size with the strongest storms by late afternoon and early evening. Should an isolated storm mature with little interference from nearby convective contamination, hail sizes perhaps to tennis ball size would be possible. TORNADOES: Midday observations confirm the best combination of severe weather ingredients is likely across most areas along and south of I-20 where a "Moderate" (4/5) risk for severe weather is in place. With the presence of a convectively reinforced warm front in the vicinity, boundary layer winds likely will remain sufficiently backed to promote the formation of tornadoes in an environment that will subsequently be characterized by around 150-200 m^2/s^2 0-1 KM SRH. Nearer leftover convective outflow boundaries from morning convection and enhanced frontogenetic zones associated with the primary warm front, 0-1 KM SRH may locally rise into the 250-300 m^2/s^2 range which could support the potential for a strong tornado or two, particularly after 6 PM when low level winds begin to maximize. Marking a substantial difference from Friday's event, however, mid and lower level velocities will be substantially lower with the 850 mb flow likely remaining under 50 kts. In addition, the synoptic environment will see neutral to slightly rising upper heights and lacks a substantial synoptically driven low level/surface low that would suggest increases in upper divergence. There also exists a relative weakness and limited veering with height in the 700-500 mb layer (50 kt SW, 60 kt SW/WSW respectively) which could contribute to updraft/downdraft separation challenges for some of today's storms. This suggests that the overall strong tornado risk is somewhat lower today than we saw at the end of last week. All of that said, there is increasing confidence in the chances for tornadoes today and of these a strong tornado or two could be possible should a favorable storm-scale evolution transpire. WIND: Damaging, straight-line winds are also likely today, particularly with any upscale growth into more linear structures that could occur with cell mergers. This is more likely heading into the evening as storm outflows begin to merge and overall convective coverage increases. Winds could gust upwards of 70 mph in bowing line segments as well as within stormscale downdraft features (Forward/Rear Flank downdrafts, etc) associated with supercell structures. FLOODING: Given storm motions today may approximately be parallel to primary surface boundaries, and in particular the warm front which will likely be slow to move/stalled once active convection forms along it, there will likely be some areas that have multiple storms or clusters move across in relatively quick succession. This heavy rainfall over a short period of time will result in some risk for flash flooding, particularly for low lying or poor drainage areas. The majority of the flood risk will likely occur after dark posing additional dangers to travel. For this reason a "Limited" (1/4) Risk for flash flooding was introduced this morning for areas in southeast and along and east of I-55 south of and including the Jackson, MS metro area. As always, when water covers a road way, do remember to "turn around, don't drown." Northern Enhanced/Slight/Marginal Risk areas: Between I-20 and highway 82, the severe weather risk will diminish with northward extent as deep moisture recovery is not as robust in those areas compared to further south. Here, a "Marginal" (1/5) risk for severe weather is forecast as well as narrow "Slight" (2/5) and "Enhanced" (3/5) risks areas that defines a sharp drop off in severe probabilities and approximates where the more defined moisture gradient (and possibly the synoptic front itself) may be positioned as we approach mid afternoon. This area will primarily see a risk for severe storms with damaging wind and large hail though a tornado can't be ruled out. The greater severe hazard probabilities will exist nearer the southern portions of these outlook areas, nearer the "Moderate" risk contour. As noted, these storms will largely be driven by afternoon and early evening day-time heating. After sunset, as the diurnal instability begins to wane and storm/shower outflows help stabilize the boundary layer, storm coverage as well as intensity will diminish into the overnight. The threat for severe storms will therefor be mainly through the remainder of today until 11 PM. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will continue with some showers lingering into predawn Monday with overnight lows dropping into the middle 50s F north, low 60s F around the I-20 corridor, and middle 60s F to the south. Monday... For most areas, strong to severe storms are not expected Monday. With continued west-southwest flow aloft, elevated boundary layer humidity (especially south of I-20), and day time heating, showers and thunderstorms will be possible by the afternoon with about a 1 in 3 chance for rain for the southeastern third of the area. The right-entrance region of an upper jet gets a bit closer as we approach late evening and that could result in increasing rain chances around the area as well as some chance for a strong to marginal severe storm in southeast Mississippi heading toward sunset. The primary hazard with any briefly stronger storm with this activity will be damaging wind gusts. A "Marginal" (1/5) risk for severe weather is outlined for this possibility. Temperatures tomorrow should rise quickly under mostly full sun by late morning and temperatures in the low/mid 70s F will be common north of I-20 with upper 70s F and lower 80s F to the south. /86/ Monday night through Next Sunday... By Monday and Tuesday, a cold front will stall across central MS increasing rain and storm chances for both days but by Tuesday evening, the front will be south of the ArkLaMiss and mid-level ridging will begin to rule. Dry weather is expected to return to the region Wednesday and much of Thursday. By Thursday ridging will shift east while simultaneously, a mean longwave trough will swing across the Rockies and push east across the Plains with an associated cold front. This front is expected to be in our area by Friday afternoon and will bring rain and storm chances. At this time, a severe weather threat is on the table however that will depend on how fast or slow the evolution of this system takes place. Will continue to monitor this potential system in the coming days. In regards to temperatures, the warm weather is here to stay! While temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 60s Tuesday and Wednesday, highs will range from the upper 70s to mid 80s throughout the period. /JNE/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1236 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2023 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across central and southern areas through 06Z with isolated shower and storm coverage for GLH/GWO/GTR. Lowered CIGS/VSBY to MVFR/IFR is likely particularly overnight. Thunderstorms diminish after 06Z but low ceilings, patchy fog, and lingering showers will result in continued MVFR/IFR flight categories through around 15Z followed by prevailing VFR. Prevailing winds will be generally light and out of the south for southern/central sites and light and out of the east for GTR/GLH/GWO. /86/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
